Will this PC I am planning to configure work and how can I improve it?

[l_Azkey_l]

I'm new to building PC's, but I have been needing a new one for quite a while now. I prefer to construct my own as ordering a pre-built one would mean spending nearly a grand and a half in one go and it probably wouldn't meet my needs. I will be using this PC primarily for educational work as well as video editing for console games (preferably in 4K quality) and image editing. I have researched into some of the necessary components that I was thinking of purchasing, but I would not object to finding more cost efficient or overall better components. I am fairly confident in my choices but I wanted to get a second opinion, just in case some components aren't compatible with each other or if I am purchasing something too unnecessary. So here are the parts:

CPU - Intel i7-8700k 6-Core Processor (3.7 GHZ, 12MB Cache Memory)
GPU - GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB)
Motherboard - ASUS Prime X299-A Intel Socket 2066
Storage / RAM - Corsair DDR4 MK32GX4M2A2666C16W 32GB (2x 16GB) RAM Sticks (2666 MHz)
M.2 SSD - Samsung 970 PRO (512GB)
Hard Disk (HDD) - Samsung 860 EVO (1TB) 2.5" SSD
PSU (Power Supply) - Corsair 750W TXm Series
Capture Card (for gameplay) - Elgato 4K60 Pro
CPU Water Cooler - Corsair Hydro H100x 240mm
OS - Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am not too fused about a budget, just as long as it doesn't scrape the £3000 mark. Currently (along with thermal paste for the CPU and cabling) this current component list costs me around £2,200 - £2,400. Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers!

PC Specialist build and sell custom PCs and laptops. As such, we can't advise on competitors' specs or self build projects.

You select the components from their lists and they build, test, and ship it to you.

If you build a PC yourself it's still going to be a very large spend over a very short period of time. And if buying from a custom PC website, you'd configure it so that it did meet your needs.

A socket 1151 CPU won't fit a 2066 motherboard.

Be aware that Intel are releasing new CPUs that could be better-suited to your needs than the 8700k in a matter of weeks, while Nvidia are releasing new GPUs on 20th September and in the following weeks, with reviews coming out on the 14th.

People would be happy to suggest a PC Specialist spec for you to consider, fitting into your budget and needs above, but would probably recommend holding off a few weeks for the new tech
