Hello all,
I am going to purchase a customized albeit already built pc from www.ecollegepc.com. I know that to get the most for my money and needs that I should build it myself but I'm not comfortable doing that on my own just yet. I've been heavily researching parts for this build and although my knowledge is increasing, I don't want to tackle that venture just yet.
I am going to use this rig for gaming, animation, video editing, and whatever else I might get into as I go through school.
This will be an entry level rig that I will want to upgrade in the future so keep that in mind when making suggestions.
Here are the parts I've somewhat settled on at this point:
Intel Core i5 6500 3.2 Ghz 6MN Cache Quad Core
Stock Intel LGA1151 Heatsink and Fan
GIGABYTE GA-Z170M-D3H (Intel z170, HDMI, 2xPCI-E, 6xSATA, 4xDDR4)
16GB G.Skill Ripjaws PC4 19200 DDR4 2400 Mhz (8GBx2)
250GB SAMSUNG 850 EVO Series SSD
1TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA3 6Gbps Toshiba P300
16X LG WH16NS40 Blue ray Disc Burner 3D playback
4GB GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
NZXT H440 Razer case
500W Corsair CX500 V2 80 PLUS CERTIFIED

My questions are, will I be okay with a stock heatsink and fan? I don't plan on overclocking or anything like that and the H440 Razer comes with 3 fans already.
Toshiba or WD for the hard drive? WD has the longer warranty but from what I've seen, Toshiba is faster at this storage tier (unless it's the other way around?)
Lastly, I don't know what my power needs will be nor what PSU to choose. I was thinking about this one as well:

For those that want to know the monitor I went with: (ASUS VG278HV 27 inch Full HD) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DDR0FE2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Any and all suggestions are welcome and you are not just limited to my own questions. I'm curious to know what you guys think of the build and what could make it better. As of now the total price of this setup is $1278. I have already chosen a monitor, keyboard, and mouse so $1300 is the budget y'all have to work with!
