What do you think of this build for rendering,editing ,recording videos & Streaming. I'm by no means an expert here so any improvements keeping within a budget of €1000 would be appreciated. Note : This build is NOT intended for gaming. I record an android emulator using a screen capture device & as for games I play in my spare time ...Literally just Minecraft.

Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz QuadCore 8MB Cache Processor
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive - Black
HyperX FURY DDR4 HX424C15FB2/8 Ram 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 CL15 DIMM (x2)
Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1050Ti WF2 OC 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E
MSI Intel Z270 PC MATE 7th/6th Gen USB2 Motherboard - Black (Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processor, LGA 1151, Dual Channel DDR4, USB 3.1, PCI-E 3.0, PCI-E x1, Sata 6 GB)
EVGA SuperNova G2 550 W Gold Fully Modular Power Supply Unit
Thermaltake Versa H15 M-ATX Gaming Case with Side Window USB 3 and Black Interior
(case can be changed just a place holder for now)

ditch the cooler. 1700 comes with one. u dont need a x370 unless u r looking for a multi gpu setup. go for the b350 like i suggested n save some cash. if u dont need a custom thermal compound if u arent gonna be pushing ur cpu with high oc. go for high speed rams. like 3000/3200 mhz. thats all ;)

that case is sort of nice but i bet you find better looking ones and with similar price in coolermaster and corsair side, nzxt too

the gpu, i would try to buy a bigger one for editing, more cuda cores help in that process with most editing tools

make that ram 6 gbs

the rest looks fine to me, but you could do a bit better by going with a ryzen r5 or r7, more cores and threads for video editing is good, less time and less heat, that 7700k surely will be overclocked but you don't list a cooler for it, something like a evo should be the minimum you buy for it, some artic models comes to mind

[strike]a ryzen 1600 offers better value here. so does a rx570 4gb. make sure u go with 3000mhz ram. the corsair cxm550 is on discount now. go for it. [/strike] didnt read the 'no gaming' and euro part
