Hello, I've planed to build a wall mounted pc. With the little knowledge I have I thought these components are great for what i want to do (gaming, video editing) and make it (at least a bit) future proof.
Motherboard: MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1060 STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GAMING
RAM: Corsair DDR4 Dominator Platinum 2x8GB 3000 C15
HDD: simple 1TB (from old pc)
PSU: Cooler master B600 w (from old pc)
Now for the CPU I'm not sure yet. I can't really decide between the Ryzen 5 1600x and the Ryzen 7 1700. I'm basically not sure if the upgrade to the 1700 will be worth the money.

I hope anyone could give advice on the CPU or just general advice or tips on the whole build. (I'm still learning)
Thanks a lot.

For most people, the 1600x will be the better pick. If you're doing some really serious editing, the 1700 or better would make a small difference.

For video editing, though, you'll want at least 32 GB RAM if you want it to be reasonably future-proof. 16 GB is the least I would consider for a video editing build, and I would only get that under the assumption that I'd upgrade it as soon as my budget allowed.

Regarding the HDD, you should really get a new one. Even if it's the same size, and you copy everything to the new one, you'll end up with fresh bearings, fresh R/W heads, etc. For video editing, you should consider an RD400.

Lastly, the PSU isn't very good. If you're building a new machine, I recommend going with a better model...
