I am planning on building a itx pc for gaming and video editing. Here are the components. Are they compatible and will they work for what im planning on using them for? Anything I should change?

Proccesor: Intel i7 9700k
Case: Metallic Gear Neo Mini ITX tower case
Mother Board: Gigabyte z390 I Aorus Pro mini Itx LGA1151
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb (2 x 8Gb) ddr4 3600mhz
PSU: Evga Super NOVA GM550W 80+ Gold SFX Modular
SSD: Crucial MX500 1TB and Western Digital 1TB m.2-2280
CPU Cooler: Noctua nh U9s
GPU: EVGA Geforce Rtx 2060 SC Ultra Gaming

I will also only be gaming at 1080p on a 144hz Monitor. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know about the Cable management. I do however hope to stay with nvidia for the gpu
Any particular reason? The price to performance on 5700 and 5700 xt can't be touched by Nvidia in this category. The 5700 xt sits between the 2070 and 2070 super for the same price as the 2060 super. It beats the radeon VII and 2080 in some games.
This system has better multicore performance for processing.
Faster memory timings and cas latency 14.
M.2 NVME drive for less money than the MX500
Better graphics card and power supply for future expansion.
No aftermarket cpu cooler needed.

+ could be 3600 or 3700 even 3900. What games do you play? Do you need 144+ FPS? What kind of video editing do you do? Like scale of project and software?
In terms of gaming I would be playing games like GTA V, Battlefield, Csgo, Rainbow Six Seige, Hitman 2 and a variety of indie games. I dont need 144 fps but would be great if i did. as long as i can run a game at a steady 60fps or above with no issues that would be great.
For video editing i currently use sony vegas pro 13 and hope to get adobe premier in the future. Nothing to crazy because im still learning how to edit videos.
 
I would probably wait on the non reference design, but the RX 5700 is a better card, than a 2060 super. Added some fans, also, as the case only comes with one, and I didn't find it to be very quiet.

That case is a massive PITA to cable manage. I build and flip 2-4 PC's a month as a hobby/side hussle. I struggled to cable manage in that case. The case does look fantastic though. I'd go with a R5 3600/5700 xt combo. I'd wait for AIB 5700xt cards to come out in a couple of weeks and avoid the reference blower cards.

I also have the case, and yes wire management can be challenging, but I really do like the finished result. You could bump up to the 5700xt, or go with more storage, as games are starting to really take up lots of space. As that board supports 2x M.2 Nvme drives, adding more is not too difficult if you start with the first drive on the back of the board. I have made the mistake of putting mine in the front. The case will support any SATA ssd, and thinner laptop HDD's, like the 2tb Seagate Firecuda.

You can put a full size 3.5 HD in there too. There are mounting points with rubber grommets where you can also mount a side 240mm radiator.

Ryzen still can't catch Intel in Adobe. And probably will not as long as Adobe continues to have lousy support for more than 8 thread usage.

Sony Vegas has similar results.


Traditionally, Sony Vegas benefits more from AMD GPU's though, so that is something to keep in mind, too.

I tried the 3.5, in my Neo. It looked horrible. I ended up removing it, and going with an external enclosure, for my 4tb HDD. Link to my rig, is in my sig. Some of the parts are new, some are left over from my previous 6700k build.
