Looks mostly good. If you want to save a little money, this:

 

If you are going to buy that aio and you intend to overclock, I suggest getting the Ryzen 2700 instead of the X. No point in wasting the extra prism cooler and you get a nice $20.

 

If you intend to get a 1080, why not choose a cheaper model? There are models going for over $150 less than that specific one.

Otherwise, nice build!

what other models have you seen, is there a 1080ti of the same price

content creation? Like Premiere Pro? I mean, this is the only application that benefits from Intel's iGPU (significantly at that though, that's why I have to ask).

Cheapest 1080 Ti I could find is the Zotac 1080 Ti mini at $730, so I would say no. If you have the extra spending room, the gigabyte gaming OC variant is $750. A 1080 or 1080 ti should manage for years to come.

It might be faster, but you will lose overall quality in whatever you're rendering in order to achieve that speed.

proof? This speed increase wasnt done by sacrificing quality. If it is the case, no one should buy graphics cards just to accelerate the rendering and editing process

I'll try and find where I had read that. In the meantime, he also intends to game and stream. I doubt the 1080 is purely for that, but it will still get the job done. You do have a point with quicksync though, it will be fast.

I couldn't find the article (was on OBS's website but I can't find that). I found some forum discussions on the topic in favor of my position, so I will post those down here .

Ya, premiere pro, Photoshop, and after affects

You could save a potential amount of money by waiting a few more weeks to a month as it's pretty clear that GPU prices as well as ram prices will come down other than that I have a 1600x and an 1800x and I'm quite sure 2700 or 2700x will handle what you throw at it

2700x is at best 7% faster than 1700 when both are overclocked, so 1700 is far better value.

 

Cryorig H5 is plenty overkill for the 1700, more so with the FD Celcius S36 since its heat output is rather low when overclocked. Even a hyper 212 can handle it, though the noise level of that cooler master fan isnt that great.

 

Crosshair 6 hero mobo to ensure the mobo can hold future Ryzen upgrades. It does look like future CPUs will be very power hungry, so better get a good mobo for it. It also makes overclocking easier.

 

The 2.5" SSD (slower one) shall be the boot drive while the M.2 NVMe SSD (the faster one) shall hold the files you plan on editing. Importing and exporting these files will benefit from the extra speed of the NVMe drive, but not the operating system itself.

 

1080ti will punch the total cost to $2300, so I opt for the 1070ti instead. Noticeably cheaper, unnoticeably slower (5%) compared to the 1080 non-ti

 

Even 500w PSU is more than enough with 1080ti + 1700 overclocked system, so I got a 650w unit to make sure it can hold upgrades. no need for 850w

 

Those Noctua 3000rpm fans are somewhat loud already at 1.5k RPM, and super loud at max RPM

Noctua fans should stay below 1000RPM to be quiet, so having a 3000rpm limit isnt that useful. On the other hand, I can have my Corsair ML120 go full speed (1600RPM) and they are more quiet than the Noctua NF-A15s I have at 1200RPM, while airflow is roughly the same (it's 120mm fan versus 140mm fan after all). That's why I picked these Corsair fans.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6stQzy/gskill-trident-z-rgb-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-f4-3200c14q-32gtzrx is the TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200 kit for the motherboard. G.Skill does not list a 4x8GB DDR4-3000 TridentZ RGB kit for the Strix X470-F Gaming motherboard.

 

There are significantly better 850W psu. A 650W psu would be more than enough for the build as listed. Consider something like SeaSonic FOCUS Plus 650 Gold.

• Chpt 1. Money is no object.

                Make it a Titan XP or 1080ti. turn that AMD into a thread ripper 16 core or 8 at least, add a water cooler on the GPU (you might need a full tower,                                  it'll look BEAST. pick a mobo that holds 8x ram *things* and you will wish you had this on your workstation. Many. Many USB 3.0 ports on the back.

• Chpt 2. Clean Power.

                Externally use an office grade UPS to provide clean power and a backup just in case.

 

                (Here is one I've had my eye on. https://goo.gl/2zCdUq ) - But you should look around and do some research on your own with these. LTT has great videos <-

• Chpt 3. Virtual world.

                Editing with Adobe products has the potential to be streamlined to make your editing workflow more efficient and fun. Such as with these interfaces.

                + Gimmicky and overpriced gear like this LTT Video ( https://goo.gl/NmkceP ) - But you get the point.

• Chpt 4. Conclusion.

                 Overall your build from the beginning looked really good for the price and is perfect for your type of need. Excellent choice liquid cooling that CPU and that case                                looks really nice, Good find. Your CPU supports (an odd RAM frequency) 2933 Mhz RAM, and you chose 3000, good. As you're being efficient with your cost to                              performance. I am not sure how good WD M.2 drives are, but I would personally recommend Samsungs. Pick a nice display for editing too, something high res                                and high refresh (less strain on the eyes and mind over long editing sessions.) Other than that, you look build looks GOLDEN!
