PC build planning help

[FallingCoconuts]

Hey guys, I've been looking around for PC parts for a while. I would like to spend around $800-$900 CAD on parts (not including OS). I would use this computer for schoolwork, CAD, graphic design, game design, drawing, programming, and games including Battlefield, Esports games, and a couple other indie games. Would you say this build is cost effective? Are their any suggestions you think I should consider? Anyway thanks a bunch for the help.
