Building my first pc and am a complete noob at the art of it... not going for anything in particular but I don't want to find myself wanting more a year from now. Anyways, any recommendations on this build, pros cons experience?

Edit: medium duty gaming, video editing, and light 3d modeling if I had to give a rough estimate on what I'm going to do with it
 
Solution
Personally, I would make these changes. I cut about $90 off of the price, got a higher wattage power supply, a better liquid cooler, a much better 5tb WD Black HDD, and a faster core clocked GPU. However, you have only have 16gb of ram instead of 32gb. Right now, 32gb seems unnecessary for most uses. However, if you ever decide that 16gb isn't enough, you can easily buy a matching 2x8 kit and pop those bad boys in.
