You should probably invest in a 990/fx motherboard, you're going to need to overclock to keep up well in games
and the E series should be a bit more stable overall and apparently it overclocks well
Other option is an i5 4460, not sure how much the 4 extra cores with the 8320e are going to affect video editing/rendering

Benchmarks, these chips like to overclock it
seems
I have the XFX R9 390x and the fans on it get really loud when they get up to 50%+ usage. I don't really like the XFX card, so if you can find an alternative 380 I would suggest that.
First, you'll need a better motherboard with at least 6+2 powerphase (990 series or that one high-end gigabyte 970) to support that processor... and honestly I'd prefer a watercooler on the processor such as a Corsair H100i... because to overclock them effectively, they get pretty damn hot...
You can't build a PC in 2015-16 without a 120GB SSD... it's a rule now... I'm making it one...
That case is absolutely terrible to build in... I literally just built one in the next step up HAF case and the cable management options were terrible... I suggested a few cases in your other thread...
There's a deal on an EVGA 750 semi-modular PSU for $50 and I'd buy that today no questions asked...
bottom line, for an extra $100-200, you'd be MUCH happier with your outcome... otherwise I'd just do a FX6300 and pump the rest into an SSD
