I am looking to build a computer and it is my first time. I would like a fairly high end build for gaming and possibly light video editing. What i have picked out is a little expensive so i was hoping someone could take a look at the components and let me know if i am going overboard or if there is something else i could go with.

Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz

ASUS Z170-A LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000)

ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX OC Edition

I have the other components picked out as well but i figured that those would be the main things. I was considering using my geforce gtx 1060 that i purchased for my current build but i thought it might be better to upgrade the gpu as well if i am upgrading the rest.

Please let me know if there is any additional information you need and thank you very much for your time, i very much appreciate it.

Looks good. Just make sure everything fits inside whatever case you plan on using. Also make sure you get a GOOD psu. It's the most important part of the entire build.
