Hello mates on Tom's guide!
I am planning to build my pc and I already chose parts for my pc.
Since this is my first own pc, can I ask you guys if there is any way to save more money from my planning, or make it better?

The link below goes to PC Part Ticker, which I simulated a plan for building pc, so please click the link or copy, paste, and see if my choices are ok, and if I can save more money too.

I want my pc to be able to edit videos, to watch films with high graphics, to browse fast, and to play games with decent quality.
I will really appreciate your help!
Thank you, and have a nice day!
