Hello and welcome to forums

above config looks very good...

but get a WD black @ 6k if possible

also Dell s2240l @ 9.1K will be a better monitor as it has latest IPS panel

That monitor has a very good reviews .Also 4 GB would not be good enough for OP , Since He is doing gaming awa applications. So 2x 4 GB Gskill RipJAWS is a good option. And OP can get GS600 @ 4.3k . Only 500 bucks more.

If he can Increase his budget then 2X4gb G.skill and a GS600w PSU is the way to go

Since you are also going to do audio and video editing you can go for AMD FX 8150 / 8350 + ASUS M5A97 = 16k....

You may have to sacrifice on 1 component....
