Ryzen is a better fit, performs on par with a 7700k and is vastly better for video editing.
Given you're buying in a month though, i'd wait three weeks and make another list, be sure to PM both myself and Hellfire when you post, just so we can confirm based on current prices and parts.

The case fans included are top notch Silent Wings 3 fans which are dead quiet, the case is also noise padded, has a tempered glass panel, and Qi Wireless charging built into the top.
If you want it cheaper go for the AOC variant of the monitor listed below, or get SC 1080 Tis instead.
I highly recommend EVGA, warranty and customer service is far and beyond any other manufacturer, and is global.

Well, if money is not a factor, thats all high quality, including the motherboard. But some of those parts are pretty overpriced, hiked on brand value. You can build an equally performing pc for a lot less. But I dont think you are too concerned on price factor. So its all good.
