I agree with the HDD change but I dont agree with changing SSD to samsung. Kingston is a great company for SSDs and I would recommend them to anyone

A little bit

Well, if you don't mind not overclocking the CPU you could get a Xeon 1231 V3 which is just an I7 without the integrated graphics for just a bit mroe than an I5. This would help with video editing and recording depending on what software you use.

I'm going to change my HDD to caviar blue and maybe add CPU cooler. But for gtx 970 or Xeon 1231 V3 I don't have enough money. I don't live in America or Britain, so the prices are very different.

Ah, but if you get a 1230 v3 you won't need such an expensive motherboard thus possibly making it cheaper.
