Amazing thank you! Y'all are awesome! One last question, which parts would it be fine to buy used and which ones are better off just buying new?

That is definitely an area I am confused about. I read that the Quadro is much more validated than other other GPU's. So since I'm not gaming on this computer and the programs I use don't utilize it fully I thought it would be the safer choice for me?

Just edited my post... Budget $1700 (Excluding monitors, keyboards ect.)

Awesome thank you! What do you think about the rest of the components? Do they make sense together?

Thank you! What do you think about a i7 6700K?

Hello, I’m building my first computer and hoping someone could guide me away from making some complete beginner mistakes. I’m building this for video editing and also creating 3D projects in programs like After Effects and Maya. I wanted to leave room for upgrades in the future, while still having the most powerful machine possible without dropping several thousand dollars. Since I never built a computer I have no idea if these components are compatible together or even make sense going together. At the moment the programs I use don’t utilize the GPU fully, as well as never really use more than 10GB of RAM at any time (although in the future I hope to upgrade the RAM). I always store my media on external drives, and will only have the programs on my SSD so a lot of storage is not a necessity for me. (I will most likely upgrade the internal storage in the future and work in a safer RAID array). Any help will be much appreciated!...I listed the components with links below. Thank You!
