If you just want to know whether it will all fit together, then yes, I'm pretty sure it will. However, I looked at the supported memory on the mobo, and yours wasn't listed. That doesn't mean it won't work, but if your computer doesn't run, it may be the RAM. The 750W power supply is overkill. You may want to go with a Radeon 5000 series, may not, not that good a judge when it comes to video cards.
Im new here, spend most of my time in the PC Hardware forums, and am working on my first build.

Waste of money. For $1,000 you can build a Core i7 system that would decimate that core 2 duo.

The supported memory list is only memory Gigabyte have run actual tests on. As long as the memory is the correct voltage and speed (and from a major brand) it will work. Memory isn't that much of an unknown these days.

Im to tired to make a build atm, but Sam, why the i3 for $1K Video editing build? A core i5 build can easily be done for $1K, and even an i7 build should be possible under that budget seeing as cheap video card like 4670 you mentioned would be sufficient and save over $100 compared to a high end card that could go towards a stronger cpu.

Well, that's a $645 system, not a $1000 system. If the OP wants to use the rest of their budget that would be fine. I must admit, I would normally have put an i5 750 there, presumably seeing the dual core already in the build confused me.

Sam if I was to go with the i5 750, would the rest of your suggestions be sufficient or would I have to make some other upgrades?

All the other components would do fine. Assuming your video editing software is multi-threaded, the i5 750 would be a good choice.
