Two new build ideas

Budget (including currency): £1,500

Country: UIK

The first one isn't great, you won't be able to OC your 12600K much with a basic B660 board

And the 6700XT is faster than the 3060, so I'd prefer the second build, but a beefier 650W PSU would be recommended (EVGA G5 for example is cheap)

would a MSI MAG B660M MORTAR be a better option for the intel one?

A bit better board but still a B660 so only limited OC, MSI BIOS allows some but then your mid range cooler will suffer a bit

If you want a "good" system you have to get a more expensive Z690 board and bigger cooler, like this (£1200 without Windows):

The reason to get a 12600k instead of non k is because the non k 12600 doesn't have ecores, so you don't need to overclock

Yeah, the 12600 non K is a scam, only a slightly better 12400

But a K skew needs a good cooler and a Z690 board due to Intel's market segmenting, bad efficiency and absurd limitations

About what id reccommend

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8PM4PX

For editing which I'll assume it's video editing, the 12700f is a good cpu for the task

Good cooler that matches up with the NH d15

Good board for the price

Cheapest kit of 32gb ram

Good 1tb storage

6800xt which is a great improvement over a 3060

Good case on sale and a good 850 watt psu
