Hi there guy's! Here I am asking some suggestions from people with more experience than me in gaming pc. I've been gaming from console for the last 25 years, but I'm ready to do the big step and buy a gaming pc. I've done this build through the website, mostly for gaming, but also for use some editing software. I'm a bit worried about the case and the Coolermaster master liquid(mostly worried about airflow and high temperatures), those are my picks at the moment, but if someone would like to suggest me something different I'm glad to hear about it, also about other components!
I will play on a monitor MSI Optix G271 full HD.

I suggest that you give this a read, it raises several questions such as what's the budget, can you also post the full spec complete with configuration link?

In your title you've called this a 'hypothetical build'. Is this something you intend to purchase at some time or are you just experimenting? It's a little unfair to expect the volunteers on here to spend their time and effort sorting out a suitable build for you unless it really is something you are intending to buy. :)

You are right mate, I should change the title if possible. I was actually thinking to order on Monday! I would like to hear before from someone else if is solid build, if there is something that could be changed to improve it, keeping the budget of 1900 Euro or less if is possible. I don't want to do stupid mistakes and than have some regrets. I know you guy's here are you doing such a big job trying to give advices to all the people like me that are trying to get friendly with the world of pc gaming.

Hi there, I have to say this is a fantastic first attempt! The link you’ve provided doesn’t seem to have worked would you like to try again? (This guide should help).

For your editing uses, what sort of editing is it? Video, photo? Or another sort? And what sort of level, by your wording I’d assume it’ll be pretty hobbyist level?

With your CPU and AIO choice/ concerns temps won’t be an issue, the stock cooler actually manages the 5600X fine so the AIO brings them down nicely and the CM240 is what we generally recommend for that CPU. Once we get the link I can update on the rest of the build

This is what I’d go with

The STRIX is more of a higher end board and not needed for the 5600X so the TUF will be perfectly fine. The 6700XT you had was more aimed at 1440P. As you’ve got a 1080p display I’d go for a 3060, it’s a super top end 1080p card, although swapping to the 2060 would save a lot of money and still give you a perfectly enjoyable experience for your monitor. For storage, I’ve swapped your SSD for a faster Gen4 drive and added a 1TB SSD for games and current editing projects then kept the 2TB SSD. I’ve upped the PSU to a top of the line RMx unit that will handle more upgrades down the line. If you need WiFi the AX200 is a must if not it can be removed all together.
