Hello everybody,

 

It's my first build for gaming (BF4 50-60fps) and editing video with vegas pro 12. I would like to keep my pc for 3-5 years with no upgrade. I want him to be really snappy and no crashs. Is this a good build? what can I do better? . I have a budget of 700$ with the OS. With the promos in the future I think I will be able to not run over my budget. Thanks for the help.
