First PC Build

[Future]

This is my first PC build, I am really new to this. I have done research but still don't know if I am getting the right parts or if I am going to overboard. I do 3d work, Photoshop, video editing, streaming, a lot of adobe programs, a lot of background things going on, and some gaming nothing to serious. My budget, is no more then 2500$ but also looking to spend cheaper if possible. This is what I currently chose, Thank You.

With what you listed as usage for the machine, you didn't go overboard. The price might be higher than you would like but I promise you won't regret spending it. But if you don't go ahead and get it now you will soon want it.

I looked over the list and didn't see any incompatibilities.

Awesome, definitely will get it then! Thank you for your input, was a little hesitant if I was doing to much for what I needed, but I'm willing to spend the money.

If you really do 3D work and Photoshop for work you're going to want to bump up your budget by about $1k and switch to at least a 6-core 12-thread CPU and an X99 motherboard along with a quad channel RAM kit. You'll get just under a 50% performance increase with most modeling and image/video editing software if you do. $3500 seems to be the magic number for building a decent 6 core machine today and $4000 for a decent 8 core.

If possible, I'd also consider getting an M.2 capable motherboard and adding about $100 to your storage budget to get an NVMe drive. After building my last 3 machines with them I promised myself I would never build another machine without one until something better/faster comes out.

If those things are not a possibility then what you've selected is decent.

For what it's worth, I agree with LNCPapa.
