My friends rigged it with an Asus M5A97 R2.0, AMD FX 8320, 450W power supply, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB two HDDs, GTX 1060. Will this setup suit mid-level gaming and editing 1080p videos?

Sure, that should work as long as you opt for high-quality brands and products. If you're starting from scratch, I suggest considering an Intel build instead of AMD. I can share several reasons why investing in the AM3+ line isn't ideal, but feel free to do your research—it's not a quick process to uncover all the drawbacks. Your decision is up to you.

I recommend a high-end 1080p gaming setup. I’d also consider switching from AMD to Intel.

It varies based on the budget you're using. But I'd consider updating the 8320.
