If this is your first build, I don't recommend a novice working in such a small case. I've done quite a few builds and mitx builds take alot of time. Usually because the power supply, you have to re-route alot of the cable first.

I have a feeling you'll want more RAM, drop the Kingston SSD unless you're going for something better than consumer grade, and I'd double check the PSU. It's a tight fit.

What type of videos are you gonna work on and what program are you going to use? If it's just for simple cut-to-cut editing, 8GB would be fine (for a while I guess). But I would suggest going for 16GB for more headroom and if you come across hi-res editing in the future.  

I want to build a rig, but I'm not a gamer.   :mellow:
