I'm a noob when it comes to building pc's even though I have been researching it for a couple weeks and hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I could point out any flaws in my build that I don't know about. For reference, I am working in 1080p video for now but hopefully looking to go 4k when I can afford a 4k monitor since my camera can shoot in 4k @ 30 or 24 fps. Any and all help is appreciated :)

I have no opinion on the drives you selected, but you may end up upgrading later on going all solid state.

What software are you using? Does the parts list you made represent your max budget?
