It's pointless to buy a PC right now; new GPUs and CPUs will be announced at CES in a week.
I would recommend waiting till it happens and then seeking advice.

Please NO. Norton is little better than malware these days. The Defender included with Windows will be just fine and be less of a resource hog.

The rest of the system looks fine but wait a week or 2 to see what's announced by NVidia and AMD with their new GPU offerings.
