I am new to building PC's and have done a fair bit of research. However I am still unsure that everything will be comparable. I have Added everything to a build on pcpartpicker, and it says there are no issues. If someone could take some time to check that these parts are the best I could use for that price (or cheaper), then it would be greatly appreciated. I will be using it for video editting, gaming, and music. Note, the games i play are easy to run and do not require a super gaming machine.Here is the part list:

The Power Supply is low quality and cheap i would strongly suggest you change that. This is a better choice if you want a budget one from the U.K. A tier 2 rated supply from a reliable manafactuer and series according to reviews and the Tom's hardware PSU tier list. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/zW4NnQ/xfx-power-supply-p1430sxxb9.

Also avoid the FX CPUs. They are outdated, not very efficient and on a dead platform. Try swap to a Ryzen 5 1400 or Core i5 7xxx. I'd even recommend a new Pentium G4560 over any FX CPU.

Other than that, the build looks all set for your aforementioned uses. Hope this helps :)
