I am looking into building a pc and would like any tips you have, here is the pc: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/chyrusreed...iew=4bWvRB
I understand, the setup is for gaming. Could you share the resolution and the kinds of games you plan to play?
The system is intended for light gaming at 1080p and video editing. With a budget of $800, it should include a 3060 12GB SSD, a case featuring at least three pre-installed fans, and no RGB lighting. I need guidance on assembling it properly and recommendations for a motherboard that supports the CPU, includes built-in WiFi, provides sufficient fan headers for case and CPU fans, plus a pump fan. The alternative should fit within the budget without requiring extra accessories, and all components must be available on Amazon.
An Intel alternative: - Case doesn't have 3 pre-installed fans, but does have 2 and that's enough. The RGB can be turned off. - It has 2TB SSD and 32GB of memory (up from 1TB and 16GB).

If it was me, I'd fit a cheaper cooler and switch to the 5700X (if you don't need the IGP and the 5700G's box cooler). For gaming only, a 6700 XT would be better value too, I think.

You'll also require an Nvidia graphics card to support ray tracing and DLSS.
Customers have shared positive feedback about the board functioning properly right out of the box. ASRock has recently updated their specifications, which likely means it comes with a compatible BIOS. Using the B550 model is proving difficult for setting up Wi-Fi and saving data effectively, so my setup would have turned out similar to yours.
For video editing, choosing NVENC encoding is essential. It boosts performance and quality.
