First PC Build. Opinions/Help please.

I'm building a PC for the first time and would like some feedback on my part selection. I'm located in Germany, the current parts use my full budget, it's supposed to be a gaming PC (possibly a bit of video editing) and it needs to be in a small-ish case, since I don't have much space at he moment.

 

Here are my parts and what i pay for them:

-Masterbox Q300P mini itx case  70€

-Intel core i7-9700K  441€

-Zotac Geforce RTX 2070 mini  524€

-Asus ROG strix Z390-I Gaming  234€

-Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro black 2x 8GB  130€

-Corsair RM850X  127€

-Corsair H100i Pro 114€

-Kingston SA400S37, 240GB SSD (Bootdrive only)  35€

-Seagate Firecuda SSHD 2,5 inch 2tb (Storage)  96€

 

Total cost: 1.770€

 

I'd appreciate all feedback.

 

Note: I'm pretty sure the powersupply is a bit overkill, but that way I can easily upgrade to a dual GPU setup once I've got a bit more space. (Also I'd like to keep as much RGB as possible)

I did consider going with Ryzen but all my PC's up to this point had intel, and I'd like to keep to the stuff I at least sort of know for my first build.

Ryzen will 100% give you more for your money as the 9700k is a non hyper threaded CPU. While single core it will be better multi core Ryzen will walk away from it.

for gaming and a little bit of editing you'll want hyperthreading. Most games run well well with 4 cores+, but editing will require more. There isn't much difference in intel and amd build wise, but I'd actually recommend AMD for the best bang for your buck. And this is comming from a guy with 3 buildboxes with intel xeons. ?

I believe you're right but still, I want this to be an Intel build.

the editing bit is a very small factor, this thing will be primarily a gaming machine but thanks :D

We can't always get what we want.

 

Get out of your comfort zone, go with a Ryzen, it will improve your confidence. XD

I don't know retailers in Germany but I recommend something similar like this.

Add a nice air cooler to it like cryorig h7, scythe mugen 5, or nh d15.
