So as per the title, I am looking at building a PC for video editing and music recording/production. The PC needs to be as quite as possible as it will be in the room I'm recording in (a home studio).
I have come up with the following basket on OCUK but there were three things in particular I struggled decide on:
1. Is the CPU Cooler I've chosen sufficient? I won't be overclocking the CPU, etc.
2. What would be a good GPU to get? I might try the integrated GPU on the 10700k before splashing out on a dedicated but would appreciate recommendations.
3. Motherboard - used to be a fan of Gigabyte but been out of the game for a while so not sure what's good. Only thing I really want is USB3 gen2 and a USB C header for the case.
Is there anything I can improve on or should avoid?
