First time builder, need some advice!

[KasperZer0]

So guys, I'm planning on building my first PC and as you might already know, I'm a little nervous in terms of picking the right components so I don't miss anything. This is it: 

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor ($247.89 @ OutletPC) 

CPU cooler: Stock
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($119.89 @ OutletPC) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory 
Storage: Western Digital Blue SN500 250 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($54.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($63.99 @ Amazon) 
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6 GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Video Card (THIS ONE I ALREADY HAVE SO NO PLANS FOR CHOOSING ANOTHER ONE OVER THIS ONE)
Case: NZXT H500i ATX Mid Tower Case  ($114.98 @ NZXT) 
Power Supply: Cooler Master MasterWatt 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply  ($90.39 @ OutletPC) 
Total: $692.13

 

 

So... What do you guys think? Am I doing this right? I'm jumping from a pre-built (2009-ish) which featured a i7-2600 so big improvement here I would like to think.

Any bottlenecks you can spot? Any overkill components that don't really match with other ones? This build will be for gaming, obviously, and for Semi Pro video editing (Premiere and DaVinci).

 

I know you people get to see tons of similar posts and it may get somewhat boring. I've tried to do all the research I can beforehand and *I think* this is a pretty balanced build, but I just need an expert advice so I can move on with getting the components.

Thanks a lot in advance guys.

Also, does the SSD in this case benefits from the heatsink of the MoBo?

Ryzen 7 2700x with gtx 980ti should run games at 1080p smoothly(mid to high settings). Maybe go with non rgb ram since it is cheaper. The rest seems fine.

Thx a lot bro.

You're going to get a very minor bottleneck using that old of a graphics card with a Ryzen 7 2700X.

It's not something I think you'll notice, but generally (from what i know), anything over 10% is something you should consider.

Wow, thanks a lot for the link. I plan on updating next year, it's just that I can't afford a new GPU right now and as I have this one I guessed it would be ok for the time being.

It may, but not in any noticeable way really. The build over all is really good for the price you're paying. Upgrading the video card won't even be a huge necessity till later down the line.

That's not really how PCs work. Both the R7 2700X and 980 Ti will contribute performance. It's like a huge pot.

Nope, not at all. Not that it matters.

If you're gaming, consider a R5 3600 instead, for it's better IPC.

Ok, notes taken. Thanks a lot guys.

Thanks to you for considering Seagate for your new rig and I will paste the link to the SSDs in case you want to take a look:
