HI! I'm putting together a pc for Gaming and some video editing. I would love some criticism on this setup.
Specialty if I'm missing anything. Also, this is my first time doing this! I already own some SSD's and HDD's that's why they are not on the list.
this is still a work in progress so every comment helps. In advance thank you for helping me out and I hope to hear from you guys.

video card, NVIDIA Geforce 1060 6GB.
Memory, DDR3 8GB.Mainboard,
AMD ASRock 970 Exterme3.
Processor, AMD FX-8120.

I recommend that you find a X470 or B450 motherboard of good quality instead of the X570 as you probably won't use any of the new features it has.

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

all in all i think thats a good build. nothing i'd really recommend to change. If you wont use the x570 features maybe drop to a good b450 board.

Im thinking off upgrading later down the line thats why i took that power supply

A 550w can power a more demanding 9900k with a 2080Ti so don't worry, but 650w is not overkill in anyway and the price is really good too ;)

where in the world are you located? it's going to affect some of the suggestions :)

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

you have an amd cpu. if in the budget get some 3600 instead. 3200 are good but if possible i'd suggest 3600

you can probably run some rtx games on high 1080p with that but maybe not at 144fps. my 2080 gives me roughly 120 fps in the new Cod mw with everything on max + ray tracing in 1440p.

usually cases come with fans (unless i'm mistaken, then thanks for pointing it out and for the free knowledge points) so theese would only be for the rgb.
