Hi, I am looking to buy a powerful pc to make editing film and creating animation a lot easier, but I have very little idea what i'm doing when it comes to the specifics of a computer. I have looked up what I could online and have tried to learn, but i'm having a very hard time. I found a site that allows you to customize your pc before you buy it and with the limited knowledge that I have, I built what I think is a powerful pc that will make working in high-res film editing and heavy computer animation easy.
This also includes my monitor, keyboard and mouse.

I really don't know what i'm doing here so if some one could let me know if I'm making mistakes with what I'm getting or if I completely messed up the whole thing that would be a huge help.

Thank you.

It is iBuypower, it is not a good machine. The PSU shaped object will probably go up in smoke.
