I am going to order the parts to build my video editing computer but before I do I thought i'd get your thoughts on my parts? I'm mostly going to use it for 1080p and 4k video editing, special effects, 3d animation and some gaming.

I will be buying most or all of the parts on black Friday/ cyber Monday hoping to save some money and bring the cost down to 3000$(CAD) including shipping and taxes. I am also thinking of buying a 500GB ssd instead of 250GB if I find a good deal on it, not buy the hard drive for now and use the external harddrive I currently own until I have more money and buy an actua internal harddrive. I might also get Windows 10 PRO instead of home if I find a deal on it as well.

Maybe you have the prices in American dollars? I looked at amazon.ca and newegg.ca and these were the prices I got.
