I almost went with that one at first ^^.

I'm not sure about graphics card memory for video/image editing. I am not familiar with that.
With the amount of pieces I will get, I'm sure everything will hold nicely in a mid-tower.
As for the graphics card, I'll be looking around for what I should get. edit : GeForce GTX 770 seems like a good choice, but I'll go with the 780 series instead. For 50$ more, it does a better job (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html).

Also, other than the operating system, what should I put on the SSD card ?

edit2 : saved a hundred bucks on the PSU. Changed it to a 650W instead.
