- 6c/12t Processor on a new platform guaranteed for 4 years (meaning you can upgrade again in 4 years without a new motherboard.

 

- Fast Ryzen friendly memory.

 

- Best consumer graphics card available at present.

 

- Beautiful tempered glass/lit case (though if you still like the H440 change it to a H440)

 

- Very solid top tier PSU built to last, with added peace of mind it won't kill other components in the build.

 

- Add $30 if you need a windows licence from kinguin

I plan on using the pc for gaming, work and possibly editing

If gaming at 144+Hz and doing nothing else is your main priority go for: (build is above)

More accurate

Intel i7 6700K/7700K is still the best in 1080p/1440p 144+Hz gaming IMO

 

Edit: Just my opinion, if you don't agree please don't argue with me, I don't want to turn this topic into a fight

At 144Hz only I fully agree  that's what I was saying.
