So I'm in the process of building a PC. I'm coming from an Apple iMac so just want to get a bit of feed back on this computer from a photo editing point of view. Is there anything you would change etc. Bearing in mind this build is pretty much on the limit of my budget. 

I shoot with a Nikon D850. Software I regularly use: Capture One Pro 12, Affinity Photo, Helicon Focus, Topaz Studio and PTGui.

Fractal Design S Black Edition
Gigabyte X570 GAMING X ATX 
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core,24 Threads, up to 4.6 GHz 
Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite ML240L All in One Watercooling 
Kingston HyperX Fury 64GB DDR4-2666 (4x16GB) 
AMD Radeon Pro WX5100
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 
Seagate BarraCuda 10TB Desktop 
EVGA SuperNOVA 850W G3 80+ Gold Full Modular 
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound Upgrade 
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 

Monitor is a BenQ SW320 31.5" 4K

Thanks

Andy

My only comment would be to make sure that the HD is a 7200RPM model and not a 5400RPM model. you didn't specify the exact HD so it's just something to look out for.
