No overclocking at all - No gaming at all. It'll be used to power a new audio setup and streaming setup in the church.

11700 all day long.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black (CC-9011023-WW)= £74.99
1 x Intel Core i7-11700 2.50GHz (Rocket Lake) Socket LGA1200 Processor - Retail= £319.99
1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey= £59.99
1 x OcUK Value Blu-ray / DVDRW combi SATA - OEM= £62.99
1 x Crucial P5 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive= £44.99
1 x WD 1TB Blue HDD 7200rpm 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)= £33.95
1 x Corsair RM Series RM650 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply (CP-9020194-UK)= £74.99
1 x Scythe SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler= £43.99

Total: £727.58 (includes shipping: £11.70)

Decided to stick to the B560 Mortar wifi £140 elsewhere

All in is 727.58 + 140 = £867.58

I'm still wondering if there's any Blu Ray software with that OEM - It's a concern if it doesn't.

If it doesn't (I'm checking it out) what software could I use for it? Never owned a BluRay myself before so not sure.

There are lots of free software (Google it ) to watch blu rays like vlc player but if you want you burn dvd video to give to away then google free dvd burning software.

The combo drive above only burns dvd not blu rays .

yeah it's just for DVD but having bluray playback is useful

Vlc player is one of the best it plays everything media player classic is Another.

If the videos you record are valuble to you then back up your data to another drive so maybe get a second large hard drive.

For non gaming streaming (online services they are doing) surely a 5600XT and a i7 11700 (non k) cpu, would be plenty? I thought it would but the client is unsure, I guess I just need another set of eyes to confirm or suggest upgrades, if it's not enough for non gaming streaming

So your putting in a 5600xt Gpu i thought you was using onboard graphics so thats even better.

What are the exact needs apart from streaming, and audio that pc should handle it easily ?

Probably not.
