Have settled on this spec (no gaming and no RGBs required)
Will be used for Home video editing, browsing etc.

Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Rev2 Gaming Case
AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
ASUS X470 ROG Crosshair VII Hero Motherboard (no wi-fi)
Corsair CMK32GX4M2D3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16
Samsung - 860 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Sapphire - Radeon RX 570 8 GB NITRO+ Video Card


I am not too sure about the Video card. Already have a Dell monitor and HDD drives.

For not doing any gaming, you've built a pretty decent gaming rig.

Probably overbuying on the motherboard. I won't gainsay you on the CPU, but you could probably just go with the R7-2700 and save a few bucks there. Unless you are planning for a hefty overclock then you would need to add a decent CPU cooler. (Something like a B450 motherboard is more then enough to run that CPU)

You do need a video card, but if you just want basic display capabilities something like an RX560 would be a lot cheaper. Or a GT1030/RX550. Though if you plan to use a GPU for encoding, than the 8GB of memory on the RX570 should come in handy.
