Hi guys I am new at computer building. I do 3d computer modeling, do high video editing (planning on 4k edits), programming, and FL Music Studio. Planning to do some gaming such as fallout 4 on it too. My budget is around 800 to 1000 ,so please check my parts at http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sMQm99 and please check if any changes in parts should be made. I prefer using bestbuy, newegg, amazon, tigerdirect, and rakuten. Thank you!
First time building a high media consuming computer please help!

Better for media stuff due to more cores, actually fits your budget, if you want to spend what u did on your build upgrade the gpu

No there isn't anyway to do that on your budget. If its even 50/50 encoding/gaming my build will make you happier. If its 80/20 gaming over encoding then yours will work better. Encoding you really need an i7 (xeon is an i7 with no graphics onboard) for about $1300 you could do a 5820k/ddr4 build that would encode amazingly and game very well, or get a i76700 (non k) for a few bucks more than what you have but those options are both assuming encoding is the focus, and you can move your budget

In that situation my build is the way to go for sure with these changes
