Hello, I’m building a pc this December I’ve already ordered some parts. My total budget is around 1200$ it can be a little flexible though. I just want to make sure all my parts would make a good pc. 

1. What I’ve ordered

-Zotac 1070ti amp extreme($389)

-nzxt h500i ($89)

-Corsair cx550m ($60)

-team nighthawk 16gb 3200 mghz ($120)

2. What else I plan on ordering

- ryzen 5 2600 ($159)

-nzxt kraken x62 ($145)

-asrock x470 Taichi (on sale $159)

I know the motherboard and cooler are overkill but when zen 2 comes out I plan on upgrading to 8cores or more 

-240 gb ssd boot drive($40)

-2tb barracuda($58)

3. My goals of the build

I plan on doing quite a bit of gaming on it, and gaming while streaming.  while also doing video editing and some graphic design. I already have two monitors and mouse and keyboard so none of that is factored into the budget just the of itself. I will also be doing my school work on which I’m getting a degree in electrical engineering so as of right now I have no clue what that will mean with the need of a computer. I know I’ll probably use some cad at some point. But I just wanna make sure that it’s a good build and see if anyone has any recommendations. I’m not to heavy into video editing and graphic design right now so I want to wait the investment of the 8 core until the zen 2 comes out mid 2019, and I don’t want it to be to big of a toll of an upgrade come that time so I want to get the cpu cooler and mobo right now to save me some cash in the future

I'd consider getting a 2700 then, or switching to an 8700k.
