I want to be able to do 3D modeling and simple animations in blender, 2D animations in Clip studio + digital art, compose music (MuseScore, Cubase, Vocaloid), be able to play VR and games at mid to mid-high settings.
Fast start ups and multitasking (mainly text documents and a couple video and music files) are what I want the most out of my PC.

QUESTION
Is this a good build for what I want it to do? PC Part Picker

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Monitor Link here — Acer ED242QR
Video Card & CPU Cooler — will buy at a much later date, not included in my budget which I’m trying to keep below 1000$

OK, missed your post, mate, playing with PcPartPicker.
No, the R5 2400G won't be a good choice, you'll be hampering the system with a fairly slow Quad cored CPU when a faster 6 or even 8 cored part will be far more suitable, especially for rendering and multitasking.
Much as it pains a rabid AMD fanboi like me ;) to say so but I think you'd be far better off with this:

Why are you buying a 2400G with a GPU? You should get 1600. Reason is, the 2400G comes with an integrated GPU and is quad core as opposed to the 1600, which is 6 core without an integrated GPU.

CPU, MB, Memory, Storage(SSD), Case (purchased), Power Supply (purchased), and monitor for a budget for around 1000 to 1200$. With the items said, my current total is 1024.95$

TBH, don't mind the budget too much, just want to know if this build will work for what I want it to do (with and without the GPU). E.X. Will it be painfully slow or just fine?

@ Luc.langgevin: What are you looking for for the $ 1000 ( CDN ) budget? My guess is: CPU, MB, RAM, storage ( maybe a GPU )?
If so and from the Red Team:

I've included a GTX1050 for obvious reasons, you can drop to something more basic which should pull the price closer to $ 1000.

And from the Blue Team:

No GPU included here, the i5 8600K has built in graphics, or you could add a GTX 1050, in which case it looks like this:

The monitor was included just to show the prices, it's the same as the Acer you mention in your first post and, as before, I've skipped the GPU because the i5 8600K has a built in graphics capability, just a limited one. ;)
