Hello, I want to build a new workstation pc. I want to run VMs , edit videos and do some light gaming.

Should I go for Ryzen 7 and X370 ?

I would go with RyZen. Even a RyZen 1700 can easily compete with the 6800k, due to it having more cores and more threads (and for €350)
If you did go RyZen I would get a 1700x as its effective speed is more than the 6800k.

hey, you're better off with amd 1800x, unless you really like intel.

you dont need such big psu 550w will do.

the rest looks great.

Your 510 € i7 is almost certainly overkill for this.
I do pretty much exactly the same tasks...i7-4790k + 32GB RAM.

Really poor value for a workstation rig.
@OP, a Ryzen 1700 with a GTX 1060 or something is the best setup here.
