Hi all, I would like to build my very first PC with some research on my own. And also Black Friday is two days later. Would like to know if the following can fit into my usage of work / light gaming (using dota 2 as guide) / light video editing. I am looking at less than $1,500.00 (Exclude monitor)

1. MSI Z370 A-Pro + i5-8400: $410 (SLS)
2. Gigabyte GTX1060 6GB: $340 (Newegg includes GST)
3. EVA 500W PSU: $75 (SLS)
4. Western Digital Blue 1TB: $56 (SLS)
5. Samsung 860 Evc 500GB: $110 (Newegg includes GST)
6. G-Skill RIPJWAS 2400MHz 2 x 8GB: $155 (Newegg includes GST)
7. Phenteks Eclipse P300 TG (Casing): $88.80 (Newegg includes GST)
8. Window 10 Pro 64bit: $190 (SLS)

Total: $1,454.80

Please advise if the above build is good for my usage and price is at the right direction. Do advise if you have comment.

Thank you in advance.

memory should go for 2666mhz as 8th gen supports minimum 2666mhz ram. And is there a need for Z board as you are using non k processor.

I would suggest just take windows key from other sources for just $10+, rather save that differences for a retail pack of ms office 2019.
