Help with my first build

[someone random]

Hello I am in the planning stages of my build and I am aiming for a build that around $1000 but its ok if its 100 over or under without the monitor. I think this is generally how I want the build to be but I am a noobie and I don't know too much about building computers. I would appreciate any feedback on any aspect of my build, I do not care that much about color schemes, and my main use for the computer is a little bit of everything on it like editing videos and photos, special effects, computer programming, game development (unity), 3D modeling (blender, CAD), and gaming. I want to get a 1080p or preferably a 1440p monitor for the build. The graphics card is highly up for debate I am going to buy a used one for cheaper off of eBay or something like that and I saw that I could get some good deals on a Vega 56 or a GTX 1070 or something else for cheap. I was hoping someone could just look over the build and see if I made any mistakes, any parts are overkill, or there are any bottle necks. The monitor is also up for debate I kinds just put that there as a place holder. Thank you I appreciate any help.

 this is what I would suggest.

That's looking very good, RTX isn't very good in general but it is very helpful for Blender Rendering performance, you've got a pretty good deal on that SSD though, I paid $200 for a 500GB 960 Evo one or two years ago, and that was on sale.

 

I think the new RTX 2060 would be better than a used GTX 1070 or Vega 56 though.

^This.
I would also suggest taking the Vega 56 over the 2060. 8GB Vram gives you also some kind of "futureproofness" compared to the 6gb Vram of the 2060. 
Also worth considering is taking a Ryzen X processor. Instead of going for an Ryzen 7 2700 you could also save yourself 50$ and go with an Ryzen 5 2600x. 12 Threads are also plenty and you can OC it. Additionally, the board he selected is a good Overclocker.

I was thinking about recommending the 1660Ti as well, it should be good, as Stuttgart said, I'd also recommend going down to a 2600X.

Thats my suggestion. More Vram, more Storage, no fancy LED's. Pure power.

Not that power supply though. Also no reason to go with a mATX board in an ATX case. He would be better off sticking with his original choice, or the B450 Tomahawk if he doesn't need wifi.

I am getting a 2700x I think you were looking at the first comments build my build is the link on my original post but thank you for your feedback I was not planning on getting a 2060 because that card seems very gaming oriented and gaming is not what I will be using the pc for mainly so I was thinking on getting a used graphics card with the vega 56 being my number one choice

I was planning finding one that had minimal wear on it and wasnt used that much for a cheap price (I found a few) but do you know of any major drawbacks to getting a slightly used graphics cards I didnt seem to find any as long as I do my research and get a good one.

As far as i know there is no big drawback for getting a used graphics card. Linus also did a Video on this where he compared a mining Card versus a new one, there was no difference at all when it comes to performance. Just get a used one with valid warranty and you'll be fine.

Whats wrong with the PSU? Ive been using this PSU for over 4 years without a single problem. Its from a known brand and the quality is pretty good for the price.
And ofc, theres no real reason for putting an mATX Board into an ATX case. But it fits, and as long as the board meets your needs, why not?

It is an old group regulated design so pretty outdated by today's standards. He would be better off getting something like a 550W Bitfenix Whisper. Also brand name means nothing when choosing a psu as every brand has some junk units in their lineup.

 

Sure a mATX will function fine in an ATX case but it just looks a bit awkward imo especially as you have a windowed case. That board is available in ATX format anyway.
