Hi, looking to build my first PC, I know specs and what to look for in the basics, but unsure on motherboards and pin connections etc.

In 2012 I had an AMD bulldog 6 core with 8gb ram, (I think) a sapphire 7650, 500w psu, and biosite board. I used it to do video editing for college, LoL and a bit of CS.

Went to uni (video editing) and have been on a 15" mbp since 2014, i7, 16gb, geforce GT750M. Got the 6 year life span I wanted out of it and now ready to upgrade back into a desktop.

Looking at a Ryzen 7 3700X, 16GB ram, 6GB 1660 Ti, unsure on board, I presume a 750W psu would be ok? 500gb ssd, needs to run two 23" monitors. Fan cooled and would like it to be quiet so if anyone can recommend a good option. Will be used to play LoL and (very) rarely video edit the odd home movie

What other questions have I missed that need asking?
Budget is £1k

Thanks!
 
so i've been doing a lot of looking over night and so far think i may go with the below, ideally i'd like to get another 6 or so years out of this so have made a few adjustments to allow a bit of 4K:

Ryzen 7 3700X
Corsair vengeance 3000mhz 16gb
Gigabyte X570 mITX board
Radeon RX 5700 gpu
corsair RM550x
seagate firecuda 500gb m.2 nvme
Nzxt h210i tower

I have an old coolermaster silencio 550 in my parents house but I live in a 1 bed flat so want something a bit more compact
 
Ah ok thanks i'll check out the other board, i've only gone for a 5700 instead of XT as I don't have the extra to spend so from looking at energy usage calcs it seems the 550w would still be ok
