Video Editing PC

Hello,

I am about to embark on my first ever PC build. I will be using it mostly for video editing software (PP) and regular college-level workload. I do not game and do not plan to. I would like the PC build to last many years since I am looking to make quite an investment without breaking the bank. I am looking to spend 1000$ absolute MAX. Any advice, questions, opinions and criticism is welcomed and encouraged. Thank you so much in advance. Here is the one that I designed on my own:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-core

Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350 Plus ATX AM4

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8Gb) DDR4-3000

Storage: Samsung 850 Evo Series 250Gb 2.5" SSD

Video Card: EVGA- GeForce GTX 1050 2Gb SC Gaming

Case: Corsair 270R ATX Mid Tower

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX 

 

Grand Total: $761.19

aim for 1060 or 1070 so it lasts long and can video edit faster

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
