Hello all, it's been a few years since I built my first PC. (https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/help-on-building-a-gaming-video-editing-pc.1911197/ ) < - It's my current build as well.
I finally have the funds to upgrade and tackle the AAA games and also want to do some VR as well, I still dabble in video editing and such from time to time.
So here is a list of parts I looked and compared for a few hours: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qgt8x6 . Most parts I will order from newegg,

Also had a question about moving all my data over to the new build? Any tips on that as well?

Thank you in advance!

When you do a major hardware change like this, it's advised to reinstall the OS. Backup the important files on your C drive.
