For the past few months I have been looking for some good parts to build a computer with. I have made this list of what I am about to buy and I just want to see what you guys have to say about it. Should I change anything? Or do you think it is good as it is. All help is appreciated.

Add a hard drive for mass storage

 

and just an FYI- the gpu has a blower style cooler on it, the temperatures will be high and it will be quite loud

Oh my I had forgotten to add the hdd onto the list, thats my bad. And I did have some questions about the gpu. I chose vega because I heard it was good for the type of work i was looking to do on this computer. Would you recommend another graphics card?

Go with a i5-9600k, faster and newer for 15 bucks cheaper according to pcpartpicker. Also the case, based on personal experience, sucks for airflow even if you shove a ton of fans into it. The upside, however, is that it is very quiet.

I just realized I forgot to add the hdd to the list, thats my bad. I chose the z390 as the motherboard because i had heard good reviews on it as well as the intel i5 - 8600K. I chose the vega 56 because I was told that it works well with the type of work i would be doing on this computer.

What type of work? Vega cards arent bad, just that cooler on that specific card could be problematic.

Ill take a look at the 9600K, and would you happen to recommend any other case? Or brand? Thanks for the info though!

Fractal Design has some good cases in general (the r6, s2, meshify C). The Cooler Master H500P Mesh is also great.

Tons of rendering and maybe some virtualization. If I do need to do virtualization on this computer, im probably going to swap out the cpu for something with more cores. But as of right now, mainly video rendering (and some programming). Also, thanks for letting me know about the airflow on the graphics card, appreciate it!

I definitely don't want this to be some super expensive computer, but I am a little flexible. I would hope it is somewhere between 1,300$ and 1,800$, which is my ideal price range.

which software for video editing?

 

If it's adobe then Intel. I can't think of any use a more powerful GPU would have for your system since gaming isn't the build's primary purpose.

Thats a pretty big budget. You could do something like this, or cut back on the storage and GPU and lower the price. This is just an example.
