Because of personal preferences there is no best. You have to pick what you feel is best for you.

But I do like those Apples.

How to build a PC is all over the internet.

I'm unsure how one could not find such information. And to ask what is best means that you may not know either. For example one person things nonglare screens are best, the next loathes them because you lose clarity.

It's been said that best may be to go shopping at places and see what fits your price and then, if you like the display and parts, buy it.

I must agree with the OP.

The idea of assembling a PC myself is only slightly less strange to me than the idea of assembling a car or a bicycle myself. I have it done in a shop.
I've always wondered why anybody would do it himself. But then, I'm not an electrical engineer like you.

I think it's time to go shopping.

Look at the machines one can afford and then do more research on them.

Given no limit on country or hints about preference (Glossy, antiglare) best is to go shopping.

adobe aftereffects isn't too taxing of an app and most PCs in that price category have at least 3 CPU cores and 4gb of ram, so just pick the PC you like. focus on a large screen and large hard drive.
