Build advice

[pcmate]

Hey! So I tried setting up a build, and after a load of iterations, I came to this build, which is still more expensive than I had hoped. It would be great if anyone can drop this build by 100 to 200 dollars in price.

Background:

Budget: 1500 to 1600 USD

Color Scheme: Black and Green

Uses: Mainly Adobe premiere pro, after effects, and photoshop. Want to start gaming on pc, as I primarily game on consoles because I have no good pc.

Need an os, monitor, and mic+webcam of good quality.

Sorry if this is too much! Thanks.

The color scheme suffers a bit to get the price down.
