Hey,
I'm building a PC for all kinds of use, but I'm really not an expert. I already bought an i7 7700 and I'm looking for some help to get the rest of the config. This is not going to be a gaming PC, but I am planning to play Cities Skylines on it with like a *load of mods installed, and as far as I know, this requires a stronger build. I'm a journalist in Hungary, so I will need it to do things like run Chrome with like twenty tabs open, edit photos in Lightroom and 4K videos in Sony Vegas/Adobe After Effect (some of these at the same time).
I already picked every part (except the GPU and the case), but I still have some questions and concerns.
Thank you all for the answers.

- Intel Core i7-7700 3.6 GHz
- be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 35.14 CFM
- Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A ATX LGA1151
- Team Elite 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz
- Gigabyte 256 GB 2.5" SSD
- Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD
- Cooler Master - Elite V3 500 W ATX
- Is this a good config at all? Will these parts work together fine?
- Will these part fit together? I mean I do not know any dimensions. What sized case should I pick?
- Do I need a gaming motherboard, like the Z270 or the one in the list will be enough?
- I would like a quiet PC, not like I'm standing next to a Boeing 777 taking off. Should I pick another CPU cooler/PSU?
- GPU. I'm thinking of a GTX 1060/1070. What do you recommend?
Thank you all for the answers.
