Hey so I am planning on buying a gaming and editing PC because I'm also going to buy a capture card and all that good stuff.

It will do what you want, but if it is good depends on price. You can do better.

Processor: Look at a k series. You will be able to overclock it in the future making it last longer.

GPU: An Nvidia card would work better for sony vegas.

SSD: Don't know about Adata. Had one of their flashkeys that did not last 2 months, but they have decent warranty support (noting that shipping back to them was more than a new flashkey).

Second HDD should be a HDD, not an SSD. You will run out of space fast.

Cooler, can be better for the price.
 
Why do you have two of similar ssds from different brands? I would get the G.Skill and a Seagate Barracuda 1 TB. And like Wolfe said, get a Nvidia card for rendering. A GTX 660 Ti is similar to the 7870. I would get a evga 660 ti. Get a modular or semi modulaur lower wattage PSU like the TX650M.
