thank you so much!

Also ive decided to go with the B550-E version so im able to use the front-panel USB-C which i didnt realise was a seperate header 

Annoyingly the B550-F doesnt have this header

The QVL doesnt state the exact ram i have either. Thanks for your help!

ah ok so 3 intake, 3 exhaust got it.Thanks for your help!
 

You're welcome

The thing is, if you are mainly gaming, overclocking a 4th gen Ryzen CPU usually isn't worth it because you get better performance letting the chip boost to what it can (about 4.8ghz) in lightly threaded workloads such as gaming.

I'm not sure AMD will release a 5800, since they didn't release a Ryzen 7 3800, so you might be waiting a while lol. In the mean time you would have to get a temporary cooler. As long as you don't overclock, you could go with a very budget option like a Hyper 212 Evo or something like that.

If you go with a Ryzen 5 5600x (or if you're talking about the 5600 that will more than likely be released sometime soon) then you will get an included cooler, but if you go with the 5800x, then you'll need to buy an aftermarket cooler. In your case, I would go with the 5800x because of the video editing, which means you'll need a cooler. If you want nice aesthetics, perhaps a 240mm Corsair AIO would be a fitting option.
 
 

You would be fine putting a 3060ti with a 550W PSU. Nvidia say a higher number than what is needed because there are too many different types of systems. For example, someone could be running a Threadripper 3990x (TDP of 280W) so it's a way of protecting themselves from lawsuits etc.

What you ideally want to do is find a kit of the cheapest Samsung b-die kit. It isn't just clock speeds but timings that matter. Hynix kits work a lot better now with Ryzen, but they don't come close to what a Samsung b-die kit can do. So just do lot's of comparisons to find yourself the best deal, but focus your efforts on finding a Samsung b-die kit. Shop for used if you want to find the best deal. The odds of RAM going bad is pretty darn low. 

oh hell no

I am sure that the next generation of CPUs will be a lot more efficient and more powerful although if you do not need a CPU immediately you might want to consider waiting for the release of new CPUs.
 
The intel core I5 8400 might be more efficient for certain computing tasks although if you are looking for better performance then I the Ryzen CPU would be the one to choose as it has more computational power due to having a different base clock (higher), CPU architecture, and more threads when being compared to the Intel model of CPU.

B350 / X370 / X470 chipsets.

Ryzen will be better for editing

2600 will be faster in most video editing tasks.

I would get Ryzen personally, you get 6 more threads over the i5-8400.

Hi, I am going to replace existing parts on a 4-year-old case (Hasn't been used in ages due to a fried motherboard. My budget is GB£350 exVAT. for parts
 
What I require (Yes I have looked at uk.pcpartpicker.com)
4 Core processer 3.2GHz+ (Overclock warranty support) - Must come with a processor cooler 4GB+ Graphics card 8 or 16GB RAM ATX Motherboard  (OS is sorted as I can get a Windows 10 Pro 64bit OEM copy for GB£19.99) M.2 SSD drive 128GB (OS Drive) 2TB Hard drive 27" (minimum 24")1440p monitor with 1-4ms refresh rate for gaming. Thanks!
