Planning my first build in twelve years

I want to build a system for around the US$1000 mark. I want to play high FPS 1080p, But it needs to handle image editing and possibly video creation.

 

I have some laptop components, like a M.2 SATA SSD and some SATA SSD/HDD I can use, and I'll probably build it as a sleeper in an old Dell XPS case.

 

I have a 1080 monitor and the peripherals I need, so I'm looking for the MB, or, RAM and graphics card. I'm thinking of going Ryzen 5 and RTX 2070, with the cheapest 16gb DDR4 I can find.

 

I'm based in Denmark, but I'll probably end up buying parts from Amazon UK due to good shipping and the weak pound.

 

What do you think? Any screw ups? I want it to last a few years but obviously be upgradeable.

get a B450-A Pro/tomahawk or B450 K4 instead. see if you can find 3000-3200mhz kits for similar or slightly higher prices.

Is the difference between the 2600X and the 2600 just overclocking support?

It's their out-of-the-box clock speeds. Both can be overclocked, but the 2600X is already clocked higher, and your chances of reaching a higher OC are slightly better with the 2600X. They usually have around the same limit though.
