New Computer Build - Extremely Happy

I have been a Vegas user for several years and am currently on v17. I took over video recording, editing, and publishing for my church last year. Each week it was taking a couple of hours to render the video of our service on an i5 with only a simple intro and a few scripture reference overlays. This prompted me to begin looking at building a new pc. Each time I decided on a build, either one of the components would go out of stock or the price would jump. I finally made all of my purchases last week and built the computer this weekend. I can only say "Wow!". My rendering time of a 1080p mp4 has dropped to less than 10 minutes using approximately 42% of my CPU and 27% of my GPU. Needless to say, I am extremely happy right now. I'm sharing this info in case anyone else is in the same boat as I was and is looking for a new computer. Here are the components that I ended up with:

Ryzen 3900x processor
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite motherboard
32GB Corsair LPX 3200 memory
512GB Sabrent Rocket NVME SSD
EVGA 2070 Super Black GPU
Deepcool Macube 301 case
3 x 120mm fans in front
3 x 120mm fans on top
1 x 120mm fan on rear
Phanteks fan hub
Phanteks Revolt Pro 850 watt power supply

I'll be glad to answer any questions about this setup or run any tests if anyone is interested.

@VanSoVan Congrats on the new build, a serious step up from the i5☺️. If you care to run a test, theres a benchmarking project located here.

Nice build! I built mine almost the same as yours. I just stuck with the old RX480 8GB and am using Phanteks P400a case. Using the AMD stock cooler for the time being too. I do like the way the Phanteks RGB fans look with 32GB of Cosair Vengeance Pro RGB 3200 RAM. I haven't migrated everything over to the 1TB NVME drive yet, still using the 1TB SDD.
