Question New Build I7-10700

[Dasda]

Hi, I'm looking to build a new computer after 10 years of running i7-920. It will be primarily used for home office with Dual monitor setup 1920X1080. I also would like to edit some home videos using sony vegas from time to time. I have no intention of gaming on this so did not use a graphics card at the moment but want dual monitor for productivity. I still haven't decided on a case yet since I haven't been able tor research yet and the stores near me are all closed for in person shopping due to covid 19.

Please critique the below build and let me know any recommended changes. I have a flexible budget so feel free to recommend anything but looking for the best bang for buck in relation to my usage.

Just a few minor points .
Reconsider paying for board WIFI if you don't intend to rely on it;
I would pay the extra $10 for the EVO Plus, marginally faster in most applications.

Updated! Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD Review: More Layers Brings More Performance

Samsung's new 970 EVO Plus takes on the SSD market with new flash and speeds that reach up to 3.5 GB/s.

I suggest 32 GBs memory.
You will want Windows 10 and may need to buy a licence depending on whether you have a retail or OEM Windows now.
I know the Thermaltake cases and suggest the V100 mid size.High quality but inexpensive.

Thanks for the reply, I'll update the SSD. I need wifi for this PC as the room it's going in does not have a wired connection. So I figured I'd get onboard wifi vs PCI unless the latter perform better?

Thank you for the case recommendation as well.
