Everything is a good fit, and will be a solid machine. The GTX1060 6gb kinda limits you mostly to 1080p 60hz With high/ultra settings. A beefier GPU like a 2060/2070 super will give you more ooomph and the option to upgrade to a nice 1440p monitor down the line, that will be impressive with your current upgrade choice.

Also, if you don't plan to OC then drop the Dark pro. The 3700x comes with a cooler, so you don't need to shell out for it,

Agree to the first commend. Nicely made build with an 80+ gold PSU and solid components overall. Are you planning on doing 4K editing? Cause.. Its a little overpowered for 1080p. Will the pc be on most of the day? You want to play high end games on this build?

It will be on for some 7-8 hours a day, but with my current build i couldnt really play some high end games so i hoping after the upgrade i can
