Bit blurry so hard to see, but you've got a fan pack, right? You could get a case that includes most of the fans, e.g. Lian Li 216.

 

You could swap out the AIO cooler for a peerless assassin or phantom spirit.

 

Remove the 2x8GB kit, you can add more RAM in the future.

Hi, welcome to the forums. A few things...

 

1. Your post is going to get moved to the "new builds and planning" subforum. 

 

2. Please make your thread titles descriptive, not just "help."

 

3. PCPartpicker allows you to share a link to a build list. Please use this instead of posting crappy photos of your dirty screen. Even a screenshot would be better than this.

[leclod]

Your pictures are far from good.

He might not understand that,

You meant a Windows key for $20 instead of $120

OP had a retail key which is priced correctly.

That is an OEM key for more money than a retail key?

Please research how windows keys work before clicking the buttons on PCPartPicker.

Well for future reference just post the PCpart link here...  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HTnDyg

 

1500$ budget? Okay we can fix this..

adjusted some things around. Ram is just 32GB. That's the new standard right now. Weaker CPU, but that doesn't matter in most things, cosidered you have a beefy GPU. Cheaper Motherboard w/o Wifi but added a USB wifi stick dongle that works just fine.

Cheaper case because well saving more money and there are tons of great cases for 50-60$ range. You don't need a pack of fans, multiple testing has shown having at least one exhaust fan is more than enough. Cheaper Monitor still get 144HZ refresh rate + 1MS response time.  You could save further money by getting a cheaper KB/Mouse but IDK that's up to you.

OEM is 5 bucks more. what's the difference?

OEM keys are single time use. They’re the exact same as the $20 oem keys you find anywhere else.

Retail keys can be optionally bound to a Microsoft account, not required but it’s easier, and then used multiple times. You can activate another windows install while deactivating the old one.

Retail also comes with a different set of first party support options from Microsoft, while oem doesn’t, since your support would be your oem, dell/hp/lenovo/etc.

Thank you I adjusted it a little bit and I found out that for first time builders mini atx is hard to build in. I got an Intel cor i5 12600k, an msi mag bz60 motherboard with wifi, an nzxt h510 i atx mid tower case, and a thermal right frozen note argb aio. The final price is 1542.75$, with peripherals. I might adjust further because my budget was for the pc so I could technically make it 397.95 dollars better. Again thank you

mini-atx is not the same as Micro ATX. Mini-atx difficulty is only if the case is also a mini-ATX. If you have a normal or microsize case then there really isn't a problem. But glad I helped.

Sorry I had an account on my school chromebook and also I was using sharpie to trace something on the screen (terrible idea) and it bleached on the screen. I will follow your advice though.

Also didn't know there was multiple forums.

the stock cooler will work fine on the no overclockable cpu !!!

and you will need only 1 set of ram the 32gb kit should be fine !!!

 

[BahnStormer]

Here's a very solid gaming rig for ~$1500 that will still cope with video editing... can easily get it below $1500 with a slightly lower spec M.2 (e.g. the 2Tb WD SN580 will save ~$60).
