Thoughts on my 750 build

This is going to be my first build for editing videos for YouTube and gaming. I need some final thoughts and tips on parts I should get for this build. I am trying to keep this build under $750 (id prefer under 700 but I can manage). I have already bought the RAM, Case, DVD Drive, PSU, and Cpu fan. I just need thought on the other parts that are left to buy. I dont want to go over $750 to get the price under 700 dollars I am willing to take some frames away for price. All of the parts are being bought from Amazon and Newegg

List:

Intel Core i3-4170

CM Hyper 212 evo

Gigabyte HA-H97M-HD3 Micro ATX 

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb 

WD Blue 1TB

Should get an i5, or potentially an 8320e if you're going to be doing streaming

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I would have suggested saving a buck or 2 and not getting a dvd drive.. But you have already purchased that. 

 

Is this something you will potentially upgrade in the future?  That's generally when I recommend an i3.. if not, I would try to go up to at least an i5 4460 and maybe offset the cost with a cheaper motherboard

my work in progress

i5 6600k  //  16gb g.skill ddr4 3000  //  evga gtx 980

You know, people always recommend the i5 but right now the i3 holds its own in gaming fairly well too.  A couple months ago I put together a system for a friend of mine with an i3 and a gtx 950 and he's perfectly happy with it.  Granted he is coming from a pentium 4 so almost anything would have been a major improvement.. but he plays games like dying light and 7 days to die just fine with it.
