Looks good but i would reconsider the AIO, I heard that the glass tube is prone to breaking but otherwise the build is fine.

Looks good, but if your main purpose is gaming then the CPU is a bit overkill unless you've got the money to spend

Posted mine at the same time and though it was a bug with my post showing a different picture

For video editing - depending (After Effects versus DaVinci Resolve; the latter is multithreaded so having more CPU cores is generally preferable) and the resolution (4K or even higher) - you can definitely benefit from a chip like the Ryzen 2700X.

Personally I use Sony Vegas Pro 15 Suite

Oh I hadn't even realized that it used a glass tube. Any suggestions that are styish atleast 240mm and fit the color scheme

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a setting somewhere in options, preferences, video to tweak the amount of threads that are used for rendering.

Seriously $134 for a cable kit ? Is that a typo ?

 

I am sure you could get a cheaper one from @CableMod

Corsair's H115i looks quite good and uses a nice compact pump
