As above, what is it for? What uses? What software?

If gaming is one of the uses, what monitor are you gaming on?

Should of gotten yourself cheaper RAM the 3200Mhz, practically no difference in gaming.
Should of bought a RMx series supply, for reliability.
Hope the CPU cooler you chose is because you will be doing Overclocking on the CPU.
Also whats the though process behind the Professional Windows 10? I understand you require the extra features it provides?

Use mainly for music, Video Editing, Photoshop editing, Streaming movies, Youtube and some gaming. Will be using older Ryzen 1600 for music studio.

Cool - and how do you plan to use the storage? How are you dividing files between them?

What resolution do you game at?

Does your video editing use a lot of GPU heavy effects?

Video edit mainly on wondershare Filmora gave up on Adobe Premiere. Use some effects nothing crazy mainly from Drone footage to Youtube and sometimes music videos. Will hopefully edit and save to m.2 and transfer to other drive or external later.
I game at 1440 when I can or using my older system Ryzen 5 1600 & 1050 ti graphics sometimes 1080.
games I usually play are Dirt rally 2.0, Metro Exodus, (struggling on existing system) Division 2, Half Life 2 and Call of duty Modern Warfare.

I would really advise to upgrade the PSU to the RMx series.
Do you really require Windows 10 Pro? It's like 30£ difference.

If you're only using the one SSD for the editing work, and storing archives on HDD, then no need for 3 expensive HDDs.

The RTX 2070 Super is a decent fit for 1440p gaming but only if you have a good monitor - ideally 1440p 144hz with adaptive sync - to let you appreciate the GPU properly.

If you are archiving material off the SSD after finishing with it, you could / should archive to an HDD rather than an SSD. No point using an SSD for archive storage.

This would free up budget for an RTX 2080 Super, which is a much better fit for 4k gaming. Or 1440p gaming at high settings for some, more demanding games.

You don't get benefit from using SSDs for archive project storage, especially video files.
