So, I plan on building my first ever PC (on a budget), and here is what I will be doing with my PC!:
~ I want to get into video production a bit more with Adobe Premiere Pro
~ I will be game developing and graphic designing used programs such as Unity 3D and Adobe Photoshop
~ I will be doing a bit gaming when I have the time from now and then (games such as Battlefield 1, Counter Strike, etc.)

And here is the build specs I have come up with:
Case -
Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-ALPHA Mid-Tower Gaming Case, Black/Red
RAM -
Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin - BLS2K4G4D240FSE (Red)
Power Supply -
EVGA 430 W1, 80+ WHITE 430W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0430-KR
Hard Drive -
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)
Graphics Card -
MSI Computer Video Card (GTX 1050 TI 4G OC)
Motherboard -
Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H110M-A
Processor -
Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache Processor (BX80662I36100)

Do you guys think this build will be able to satisfy my needs? Also, am I missing anything or is anything wrong?

Please let me know, thanks in advance!

You don't miss anything and the build you composed works just fine.
What you currently have is entry-level/ low-end PC according to the today's standards. Good for web surfing and light gaming.

As far as satisfying your needs, i don't think this build can deliver. For video editing and graphic designing, you'll need a PC similar to my Skylake build (specs in my sig). To be honest, even i doubt that my high-end Skylake would be enough for your needs.

Video editing demands fair amount or RAM and minimum of 16GB is suggested.
Graphic designing uses mostly multi-core performance and here, the i7-6700K (Skylake) or i7-7700K (Kaby Lake) will fare better than i5-6600K.
i5-6600K is one of the best CPU for gaming though. Add GTX 1060 and you can play today's games with high/ultra settings @ 1080p with 60+ FPS.
Oh, you'll also need SSD as an OS drive to reduce all loading times. Having a SSD will make life much easier.

Hm, true, thanks for the advice! But the main build ideas I got were from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cXNpHWcdZY
And in the video, he was able to run games like Battlefield 1 on 61.7 FPS on Ultra Settings and GTA V 73.1 FPS
Also, I'll check out 16GB of RAM (8gbx2) and I might go with that for the extra money!

Checked the video you linked.

Until i see real FPS counter on screen while Battlefield 1 runs, i don't believe what that guy says. One can easily paint whatever FPS value on screen without actually showing how much he got. Btw, the 61.3 FPS on Battlefield 1 is more like peak rather than average. On average, you're looking 40-50 FPS.

Much better proof here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uVmIiSI1sY
Video isn't in English but anyone can read the FPS, GPU, CPU and RAM usage from the in-game overlay.

Same guy also made video about GTA 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAQbSIyPYMc
When standing still, sure, you can get 80 some FPS, but when driving, you're looking 40-50 FPS. And GTA 5 is all about moving around (mostly driving).

That's honestly decent for me, I won't be doing much hardcore gaming just from time to time for fun.
Are there any other graphic cards around the same price that are better or is that the best I'll be getting for my budget?
