Hey all!

Just wanted to throw this out there to those who know a lot more about this stuff than I do. I've done a fair amount of builds over the years, and built myself a new one about 6 months ago and have been adding to it here and there since. It works great, but as compared to high end machines I get mixed results when I run benchmarks. So thought I'd see what input the community can give me on my build.

System works great but I'm always looking for feedback/suggestions on components or configurations I could use to make it better. Primarily used for digital video and photo editing, but I do have my guilty pleasure games I play occasionally.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
 
The RX 570 is weak compared to high-end cards, especially if 4K gaming. It's strong for budget cards though.

Your CPU has a lot of potential for longevity; but you may see some benefit from a good aftermarket cooler and an overclock to 4.0GHz or higher.

Your PSU is low quality, not something I would recommend. If you ever upgrade to a more powerful GPU, I'd also look in to upgrading the GPU to a higher quality unit. Higher quality, not necessarily higher wattage.

Everything else looks good though.
