I plan to build within 2 to 3 months

I have never used Linux before, hows the learning curve and will Davinci work on it?

Doesn't DaVinci work on Windows 10? Why do you want to use Linux?

Why are you using a Quadro GPU?

What is your budget in local currency? Where do you live?

Not cheap, I would like to save money where I can but not give up performance.

I'm also not sure on cooling if I should go liquid.

Consider a more powerful cpu. The 2700X would be good. As already suggested waiting to the second week of July to see the reviews of the new 3xxx cpu would be prudent.

The motherboard will not support the storage outlined. You will need an X470 motherboard.to provide sufficient open SATA III ports. When the new 3000 cpu are released there will be X570 motherboards that may be better choices.

I'd suggest getting a better quality psu. 550W - 650W is sufficient.
