It's finally done, thoughts?

Hi, this pc is meant to serve me as my video editing and gaming machine I do both at the same level. I just want to know what do you think about it hopefully you like it.

I can barely tell a difference between the black and blue hard drives, so imo I would just get a blue and save a few dollars.

I think I think should be in build logs? But nice PC anyways

Did you check to make sure the RAM is on your motherboards compatibility list?

I also wouldn't get the X variant.

i agree, black drives aren't worth it at all.

Get 1600, spend too much on mobo, overprice SSD, overpriced HDD, overpriced PSU

I think you would be far better off spending an extra couple hundred on a 8700k setup. Processor is only $130 more and the compatible Z370 Taichi board is about $50 more. 

If you were just gaming, the 1600x would serve you very well, but video editing is simply better with a better processor, and that extra $180 you will be spending will get you a LOT farther and last you a LOT longer.

Even upgrading from my 4.8Ghz 3570k to a 4.5 Ghz 2600k produced a much smoother workflow in Premiere CC 2018 and encoding is much faster.

Also, if you were ever interested in livestreaming, you could likely push out a 1080p60 stream very easy (assuming you have quality settings for your viewers).

At the end of the day, single core performance is usually better than multi-core performance, especially for multi-tasking, and when you have the same amount of cores, but single core performance is faster, that most times will automatically make multi-core performance better, and the fact that you get a 6 cores and 12 threads with a better single core performance over a 6 core 6 thread processor is the giveaway. 

Encoding your videos will be much faster, and if you need to be traversing through files and chrome for video, audio, and other things, it will bring you a much better experience overall.
