Okay, so this is my first theoretical build. My first one I would actually like to purchase that parts for and make anyway. I want to know if there are things I could to to either reduce it's price without affecting efficiency and longevity, or increases both of the aforementioned traits without increasing the price. I would greatly appreciate any feedback at all. Except for maybe someone saying "Idk". Thanks!

My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fMxcyc
I'll be using it for light gaming, perhaps movie editing. Basically doing everything. Whatever I'm into ATM.

You can keep your 212 EVO, if you really want a silent PC. Stock tends to be noisy when you rally start to put some load on ur CPU.

And yes as viewtyjoe said, its not that really hard. I assemble my frst PC without anyone's help, after that i assembled many to my friends as well. still doing it also.

Its jst like you said, some reference, that's all you need. And everything will be clearly mentioned in the manual.

Your build look really good.
But its better go with a better GPU that 750. 750 is good, bt you really have some better options out there. Like R9 270X, R9 280 (which i am using as of now) and NVIDIA GTX 760. You can reduce the wattage of you PSU as well, it wont hurt.
I am using 8320, Asus R9 280 DCU2T and 2 HDD with my Antect VP550. As long as you are not over clocking and if you dnt really care about cable management, you can go for that. Only if you want to keep your budget tight.
bt its always better to put some space for upgrading (only if you are planning to do so).
And if you increase your budget a lil more, you can go for an 8 core processor which will do really good while rendering, especially in 3d application.

16 GB of RAM is overkill with the CPU you've gone with, power supply is way more than you need (could probably go as low as 400-ish), and the CPU cooler isn't needed unless you're overclocking. Alternatively, invest the extra $70-80 you get from going down to 2x4GB into a better graphics card, such as an R9 280 or GTX 770 (if prices are cut enough), or even an R9 290 if you want to kick in a little extra cash.

Pretty good build but PSU is bigger than you need, you should probably go with in the 400-500w range, unless you plan to use SLI in the future. You shouldn't need a CPU cooler, and 8GB should be enough for your needs.

But if you're absolutely set on what you've picked then here are some things that you can get cheaper.

Thanks for all the quick input! I think I'm going to keep the RAM. Different PSU, Look around for a different GPU and cut the CPU cooler. The thing is, I want to be able to keep this thing for as long as possible, I suspected I was going to overkill, but I'm not sure what I'm going to have to do in the future, but whatever it is, I want this computer to be able to do it, and quick. The CPU and the GPU, are the only things I did a lot of research on. Again, thanks for the feedback. One last question, as a newborn geek, is it that hard to put a computer together if you know kinda what your doing, have the right equipment, acces to the internet, and aren't a moron? I've looked around but haven't gotten a clear cut answer because it's kinda subjective. Thanks again!

Do you have a Phillips head screwdriver? If so, you can assemble a computer. Most motherboards come with very long manuals with pictures and charts of where just about everything should go, and there are plenty of video tutorials around.
