Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building my very first PC and could really use some advice. I want this rig primarily for gaming with great graphics and for some video editing as well. I've put together a parts list and would love for anyone more experienced to take a look. If you see anything that's underwhelming or maybe even too much for what I need, please let me know! Here's my parts list: [PCPartPicker Part List]. Thank you so much for your help!

I’d recommend sticking with just 2 sticks of DDR5 RAM instead of 4. If you go for 4, it might not hit the rated speeds, and do you really need 64GB? Also, that cooler looks a bit underwhelming; perhaps check out the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 instead for better performance.
Thanks for the tips! Can you explain what you mean by the cooler being small? I noticed the Thermalright model runs at 800 RPM less than my current choice and is reportedly louder. Just want to understand better!
