The 5600x isn't great for editing, but it will get the job done, and its significantly better than the 1700x she already has. Also, try to get faster RAM (3600mhz CL16). Other than that it looks ok, but if you want to upgrade later down the line you would need a new CPU cooler

If she's on a tight budget, the 5600X will work fine, and is stil an upgrade over a 1700X in rendering and encoding workloads.

Notes: Zen 3 currently benefits significantly from Quad-DIMM configurations. It is my reccomendation to buy a 2nd set of 8 GB 3200 CL14 DIMM's, and run it together with the older memory.

with a tight budget, go for the 3700x, so that she doesn't have to change motherboard too.

Those cl 14s she got were from a lucky draw, you can't find cl 14s cheap in Singapore. 

They are expensive as ****. 

I'll get her a quad set of cl15s.

Either way she needs to change the mb it's bios can't be updated the rev 1 version won't allow the bios update for 3000 series it's dead in the water. I checked with gigabyte.
