You could get a lower wattage power supply but with better rating. Like a 600w Corsair or EVGA or Seasonic.

 

Also 64GB of memory is a lot. Do you really need that much?

Most people don't need more than 16 gb ram , 32 maybe , you don't need that psu , a 600 80+gold  or platinum would be as good . Think about getting a 1Tb SSD because you will regret getting a hdd , 1070 Ti is fine , maybe a better monitor would be worthwile

yeah, but encoding is much more dependent on a good gpu and cpu. there is absolutly no need for more than 32 gigs, and even that i would consider overkill. get the best for your money and start with 16, it should be fine for a long time, and the upgrade to 32 can still be made down the line

Ok so UK pcpartpicker is best to use then.

 

Here is my take on it. I personally wouldn't pay £90+ for Windows. I have seen cheap W10 keys on Amazon.co.uk so maybe worth a punt.
