So this is my first build that I've come up with. With the help if several friends, I came up with this, but I need some advise on what I could do differently. I'm not planning to running any huge AAA game like FarCry or Skyrim. Just wanting to edit videos and play games smoothly

In all, this is around a $630 pc build. But I need suggestions on what I could change to make it better. I'm trying to keep it in the $600-$700 range.

The GPU can be painted, the case can be changed, the RAM can be changed but everything else is quite stable. Buy windows from reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftware swap for $30. The CAD is super low right now but even here its cheaper than at that one place you put
