Hello good members of Tom's Hardware!

I am looking to buy a new computer. I do a lot of video editing in Sony Vegas of files around 10GB in size, use a lot of Photoshop, and occasionally play a game on Steam. I am kindly looking for your expertise on if these specs are excellent for what I want to do? This would set me back $1600

I configured this at CyberPower since I can't build my own PC. If it's possible to link me to a better PC at a better price, I would be much appreciative!

thank you! Which PC did you start as your base?

also, why would you say the PC i configured would compromise performance? (sorry for asking, I'm new at this)
