Hi, please can someone help me review my choice for a 3D modelling (including video editing) and gaming PC I'm about to order. My budget is £1,250 but I would also like it to be a reasonably quiet and not generate so much heat. This specs is estimated within the neighborhood of £1300, hence i need help deciding which component to change. Thank you very much.

I'd strongly suggest faster RAM (3000MHz), and going for the 2700x for the higher frequencies.

The spec has no SSD, which will hamstring productivity and performance in certain tasks.

Given how expensive the GTX 1070 is, and that ultimately you'll upgrade the GPU, I'd suggest dropping it to an RX 580 (or GTX 1060 6gb if your software prefers Nvidia cards) to afford the faster CPU, RAM, and an SSD like the WD Black or 970 Evo M.2 SSD.
