Hello!
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help - so here's the deal:
I'd like to build my first rig with the ability to do these operations with a budget of under $900
-Video editing
-Gaming (relatively non-intensive games: League of Legends, Fortnight, Stellaris, Minecraft, The Forest)
-Streaming while gaming
-Music editing software
-VR Gaming capabilities
Now, keep in mind I'm a complete beginner when it comes to PC hardware, but with some help from people in the tomshardware forum, here's my list so far:

Here are just some of my concerns:
- Is there any room for improvement in this build (i.e. are any of these parts straight up garbage compared to a similarly priced part), or, similarly, can this build be trimmed to be cheaper and similarly efficient (i.e. have I chosen parts that have cheaper alternatives)?
- Do I need a CPU cooler or fans or any other components to make this work (Cables, thermal paste, etc)
- I'd like to hook up 2 monitors to this build, is this capable of supporting that? If not, what part specifications should I be looking for?
- Lastly, and most importantly, can this build even perform the above stated operations? How well/poorly? (not sure If I'm over or undershooting this with my budget constraints, but I'm down to bump this for
ANY input at all would be greatly appreciated, even if you can't answer every one of my concerns, thank you!
