The Power supply and ram you chose are over priced if you went with reasonable pricing on those and got a cheaper motherboard you could just slide a 1080 into the system and it would be a beast

are you looking to do some video editing or multitasking that is not gaming? Otherwise those 2 extra cores are a waste. I would go with the Ryzen 5 6 core processor. Save a few bucks on that and put more towards an RX 580. 
 

Or you could put the GTX 1080 in there if your heart desires. Either way I do not think an 8 core is necessary unless you are doing editing/graphic design or anything along with gaming.

Is your budget $1500? What are you using the pc for?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

With the recent Adobe iGPU update Intel is now actually faster pretty much across the board. Most of Adobe was single threaded but Ryzen tended to win when it came to render times. Now Intel CPUs with iGPUs can leverage the iGPU allowing them to render videos faster than Ryzen CPUs.

For you use case, I would not spend 1500.  Light creative iwill do fine on a quad or six core.  The eight core is more intended for people who are constantly doing intense rendering.  If you are set on spending 1500, I would prioritize a better a GPU and  nice monitor.  The relative perceived value will be better.  It would be foolish to spend that much on your motherboard unless you had a specific need.  This is a far more cost effective build and it includes a sweet monitor.
