Overall it's a really nice budget parts configuration

But, I would like to tweak a little bit on the PC case and PSU

 

PC Case

NZXT case looks cool, but it usually fits well with other product such as AIO, RGB Controller, and other peripherals

Plus, this PC case only comes with 1 Fan on rear and bottom, which leads to additional cost to purchase fans for front area

So, I would recommend DeepCool CC560, it's cheaper, have 3 front and 1 rear fans pre-installed, so you won't have to purchase additional fans for the PC case

PSU

Sorry, EVGA W1 is basically an e-Waste

But, with additional AUD39, you can get EVGA SuperNOVA G5 750W or Cooler Master MWE Gikd 750 V2  that is way much better.

 

In total, the cost of this configuration is AUD1271.48, which is still in your budget range

 

P.S.

If you can spare additional AUD120, you can upgrade to Radeon RX 6700 XT that will performs better in Forza Horizon game. As for video editing, unless you use professional or AI powered features, it won't have much difference between RTX and Radeon

The motherboard is mATX, the case is ATX. No fitment issues, but there will be several inches of empty space between the PSU shroud and bottom of the motherboard. It's just a matter of personal preference.

 

No need for a 750W PSU. The RM750e is a good unit.

 

Given the spend for these two, I would likely opt for an i5-13400F instead.

I don't mind the empy space i plan to upgrade latrer down the track. So i don't have to buy a new case then i thought i would go with a big case now.
