Buying a new PC

Alright so last time I bought a PC was in 2009 lol and haven't upgraded anything since (except changing a GPU - the old one burned out) 

Before you start laughing what took me so long is that I initially wanted to upgrade in 2011 but I had a change of perspective, I wanted to orient more on studying and sports.

So,right now I'm planning on buying a new PC it's been way too long.Even though I'm chasing a career,I have a job,I'm learning another language, I want to play some badass games (GTA 6 def in the future). I also want to buy a new PC because I'm planning on making some music,editing videos so I really need a new rig it's not that I want to play games only (I would have bought a console)

 

so even though I'm out of touch in pc world since it's not my passion anymore here's the rig I'm planning to buy

what do u think?

Honestly, based on what you just said, I'd get a MBP and then build a computer when there's games you want to play. Or buy a console. Lower cost of entry, and the new consoles are going to be pretty solid.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
