Hello everybody, 

 

this is my first Build and I was wondering if it's a good one for gaming (full HD high 50-60fps) and for video editing too ( vegas pro 12) . I also want to keep this rig for more than 3 years. Is it the right one? what can I do better ? What did I do wrong? .  I want my pc to be really snappy and that will last a while. I dont want him to crash or anything. Is it the right one build?
