Thoughts and Improvements (First Build)

[Elee]

Hey I'm trying to build a good PC for gaming, recording and editing (all in 1080p). I'm from the UK and my budget is £1300.

Any suggestions on what to cut back on and what to spend more on?

I'm not too familiar with the AMD GPUs, is the RX 5700 XT good?

Is the CPU cooler sufficient or should I invest into a better one?

for 1080p gaming, editing and recording you dont need, 8 cores, but a 6 core is more where you should look,
