You’d need a better case, the Focus G is superb at budget level.

Worth upping the PSU to the 550w CV as a minimum

And up the WiFi card to the next one up.

Do you need windows pro? It doesn’t add features like on previous versions it’s really just for joining a domain.

Orher than that it’s a good balance.

Yes, Windows 10 Home has all you need for sharing files (and printers) on your house network. :)

Might be worth bumping up to the 2060 or the 2060 Super if the budget allows. Can make a big impact if your edits involve effects.
