Hi I have £1000 GBP to spend on a keyboard, mouse, monitor and pc.
I want to have wifi included and would prefer a smaller form factor and dont care about rgb. I will use it for school work video editing and basic emails and word documents.
Please give advice.
Thanks in advance!

Case Fan: be quiet! Pure Wings 2 140 PWM 61.2 CFM 140 mm Fan (£12.73 @ More Computers)
Monitor: Philips 246E9QJAB/00 23.8" 1920x1080 75 Hz Monitor (£139.43 @ SmartTeck.co.uk)
Keyboard: Cooler Master Devastator 3 Wired Gaming Keyboard With Optical Mouse (£39.26 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £972.12

Although the 3600 comes with a stock fan, it may not fit the itx chassis.

For video editing, gpu encoding provides an ample boost in render time and timeline performance, hence the gpu. If you edit 4k videos frequently, the ram would be better suited at 2x16gb instead.

The case only has one fan mount, in the front, imo best for exhaust.

The monitor is not gaming oriented, but it does have good color accuracy and is suited for editing.
The mouse and keyboard are just a generic bundle, I'd highly recommend trying out other boards and mice or watching reviewers as it's a very opinionated topic. e.g. I like romer-g tactiles keyboard switches, others hate it.

Thanks I dont think i will be editing too often so the ram will be fine. Thanks but for a bit more there is the 5500xt and it is 8gb of gddr6 but im not sure which one is better and im worried about the driver issues is that a problem? I have not built a computer before so i dont want to deal with too much troubleshooting

The gpu encoding is better with nvidia, amds performance is quite bad comparatively. The 1660 is the next step up, but 4gb vram is fine for 1080 renders and gaming. The 8gb on the 5500xt provides little benefit for anything.
