Approximate Purchase Date: In a week or 2
Budget Range:$1500 or less
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing for home videos (Cyberlink Powerdirector), Some gaming (don't need top of the line or highest resolutions, just capable of playing most games), otherwise just web surfing, etc..
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: None - new build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None - whatever is reliable and cheapest.
Location: San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: I have no idea
Your Monitor Resolution: Not sure - just a basic monitor. Not looking for perfect resolution
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I built my last computer about 5 years ago, based on great advice I found here, and it's starting to have problems (usb ports failing, error messages, etc.). Decided I'd rather just get a new computer rather than try to fix this one before it fails completely.
Additional Comments: I don't need top of the line performance, but I want something that is reliable and can handle my video editing and a little gaming (eg Red Dead Redemption 2), and hopefully will last me 5 years if possible. I would like a ssd drive for my boot drive (500 mb? 1 Tb?), and 2 internal "regular" drives, 3-4 TB each.
I don't care what it looks like, so I don't need lights or anything for appearance - it's all about function and reliability for me. My current case is about 21X8X20 inches - anything near that size would be fine.
I built a computer once before, but I really don't know what I'm doing, so if there is a great written or video tutorial on how to put everything together, I would greatly appreciate it.
Someone put the following parts list together for me on the partspicker website. What do you think of this? What would you change? Or, start from scratch and make a new list for me if you think there are problems with this? See the compatibility notes at the bottom - do you think these would be issues for me?

- Note:The Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the EVGA BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.
- Note:The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.
- Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.
Thank you all in advance!!
