Hello I am new to building a PC. Want to multitask, game, edit and watch You Tube. Mainly want to 4k game, play Player Unknown Battle Grounds.

This is presumably what Ive been suggested. https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/P3ZThq  Any improvements that should or could be made. Country is NZD. 

 

Cheers
