New PC Build Help/Suggestions

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the LTT forum and i'm seeking some guidance and suggestions on a new PC build.

My current 6 year old PC just crapped itself so i think it's time for an upgrade. 

My budget is 1100 AUD and my main purpose for the PC would be playing current gaming titles on decent enough settings (mid to high settings) and being able to playback 1080p footage at full quality on an editing timeline.

 

My current plan for the build includes:

 

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1600 6-Core Socket AM4 3.4GHz CPU ($245.00)

MOTHERBOARDMSI B350M PRO-VDH ($95.00)

GRAPHICS CARDGigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Windforce OC 4GB Video Card ($259.00)

RAMKingston 16GB(2 x8GB)HX424C15FR2K2/16 Hyper X DDR4 2400Mhz ($255.00)

SSD Kingston 240GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 7mm ($68.00)

HARD DRIVESeagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM010 3.5in Hard Drive ($56.00)
