My first PC build (noob)

[Master Splinter]

Budget (including currency): Fuck I dunno I'm buying parts one at a time. 

Country: Northern Ireland UK 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I'm gonna be using it for gaming, video editing & streaming. 

Other details I already have mouse & headset.

 

Here is a list of PC parts I have picked for my build.

What do you all think?

 

Note: I hand picked the GPU, RAM, memory & storage.

Don't go with a k-series processor, since you can't overclock with a b560 board, you might want to go with 32 gigs of ram since you'll be video editing, a phanteks p400a would be better,but if you still plan to go with the 11700k, go with the arctic esports 34 duo or the noctua nh-u12s redux. Also, 4 terabytes of storage seems a little overkill for me, so you should go with a 1tb western digital sn750 instead of the 2tb 970 EVO, but that's just my opinion.

Or switch to a Z590 board if you want to overclock.

would recommend going 32GB for this case.

 

Go for a Z590 board if you want to overclock, but looking at prices the non-k seems to be only 20 euros less. I don't think throwing in a k processor on a B series board is the end of the world.

 

4 TB of storage is not overkill in my opinion. Games are getting stupid big.

 

You can also get a windows key from other websites for a lot less. You can check out this website: https://www.vip-urcdkey.com/

This is a way better option for video editing. More and faster ram and better cpu. The gpu is also way better. The 3060 is so expensive in the uk.

if you are going to overclock (there is simply very little performance bump while editing if you overclock but very big performance in games) go for z590 

 

32 gigs is recomended for video editing

 

ryzen is recomended too

go for ryzen 5 5600x and any b550 mobo for the first time and upgrade it down the line

 

4 tb is not overkill because games are getting very big and you need space for storing your projects too

if you  go with 5800x i would recomend a better cooler, also 650W is enough but if is the same as my country get the 750W one is just 5€ more. 
if you can try find a 3600 CL 16 kit

save up until you have enough then get everything at once, otherwise you can't test if the parts work and you waste even more time having to RMA if it doesn't. plus you lose a bunch of warranty time by buying one by one.
