Is this a good system for the money

I will be using this for photo editing and working with video. I would add another 8 gigs of ram. I was going to do some upgrades to my current system, but it is getting pretty old and out dated.

How much ? No price there.
Specs wise it looks good but for your stated purposes I would go for minimum 16GB of RAM and a Large (250GB+) SSD.

$829. I will add the memory and I already have a ssd

Methinks it's good enough for the money.

That's not bad, especially when RX 570s alone go around the 300 dollar range and the 1700x is probably around that as well. Add on a Windows license and you are already at what, 700? Go for it. You can always rebuild using some of the parts later if you wanted as well.

The video card prices are making it hard to build your own system. The prices have gone through the roof for the decent ones. They seem to not add that into systems already put together.

They are probably getting some kind of wholesale pricing and may not be as affected yet as retail.
