So the guy I was speaking to was likely not a builder as he was part of the sales team. I did look into what he said and his opinion is also valid. Depends who you ask. Some say it's best to take outside air through the AIO radiator to cool it rather than to pass hot air into it, while others...

I phrased it as "AIO top mounted fans set to exhaust". I was speaking to the sales team. Do these people build too?

What you've just said is exactly what I told them on the phone. This is the definition of "exhaust" is it not?

I wasn't even aware of "pull and push" I thought "exhaust and intake" were the only two options. Is it not advisable then to have the AIO fans set as exhausts? Should I be contacting PCS to revise my note?

Just to let you know, I did go with the majority of what you said. Got the non-x 7900. Got the h100i cooler (not x). Ordered 4 AF120 RGB fans (had to call them for this). Didn't go with the SSD recommendations but my uncle may want to purchase a 2nd SSD in the future where we can mess around...

Well in my own PC I have x2 2TB SSDs. One for Windows and programs, the other to store my files on and some games. I do understand what you are saying. It does come down to cost too though. In an ideal world, I would recommend he get x3 2TB drives lol Yes, I do agree with what you're saying on...

Regarding storage, my uncle makes regular backups on large USB media. He also has an external HDD which he can use to backup. I store my files on my SSD and I no longer use HDDs. They are slow, heavy, bulky. As long as I regularly backup, I think it's ok going only SSD. Perhaps going 2x 1TB...

I have spoken to my uncle and done some research myself. While video editing is still in the back of his mind, it's not as important as I first thought. I have kept your build @SpyderTracks as a base but made some modifications. I'm spliit between two mindsets regarding the CPU based on this...

Can i ask about the cooler? If going for the 7900 which apparently runs very cool and is very power efficient, does he need this AIO?

Thanks very much. I really appreciate the build suggestion. I agree with a lot of it. It's definitely a solid base to do more research. I'll have to read up regarding the storage

I was going to suggest a modest nvidia 3060 12GB gpu and Intel I5 14600K with 32GB 3200mhz DDR4. Not sure on the motherboard though. I think we don't need to go into as much detail as you're suggesting. He isn't buying a pc competitively to get every last drop of performance. He just wants a...

Video editing is something new to him. He has no specific software in mind. He just knows he wants to get into that area. He has a large dvd collection he wants to transfer to the pc and do basic editing with so processing time matters. I've no software names to give you, that's to be confirmed...

I'm not sure. He tends to have several video editing software from smaller brands. He uses Adobe Photoshop. I assume he will want to use Adobe Premiere. Doesn't have to be pinpoint perfection, just half decent for general basic video editing and photo editing.

My uncle has a budget of £1000 but could stretch to perhaps £1500 if absolutely necessary. No monitor is needed (he has a 1440p one). He wants a PC for basic video and photo editing. No gaming is required but possible use of AI upscaling in the future. He has keyboard and mouse and also he wants...

Hi moosEh, Thanks for replying. I have already purchased a 12vHPWR cable earlier because none was with the card. It is good that you are offering to send me one free of charge and I would accept that however since I've ordered one already can I have a partial refund for the cost of the cable...
