I'm considering a PC build for video editing, and I've got a budget of £2000. Here's the link to the parts I'm looking at: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gm4Pkf. Does this build seem solid for video editing work, or are there better options out there?

This build leans more towards gaming rather than video editing. I’d suggest swapping the 5080 for a 5070 Ti, as the latter offers better ROI for video tasks. Also, consider upgrading your cooler to either a Thermalright air cooler or a reputable Asetek AIO. The motherboard, RAM, and SSD choices are pretty basic for a K series CPU; a Z motherboard would serve you better, and for RAM, 6400CL32 is the way to go. Video editing generates lots of temporary files, so make sure your SSD has a higher endurance to avoid issues down the line. Lastly, a 750W PSU is pushing it for this setup; aim for a more robust option, especially if you're considering DeepCool, as their warranty might be at risk due to geopolitical issues.
If it's not too much trouble, could you tweak that parts list for me? I want the best possible performance for video editing within that budget. I prefer a water cooler for a clean micro ATX build—nothing too flashy with RGB. Thanks!
