does this look okay? I'm not a gamer. I just need a general use computer. I want to do some light video editing. i use dual monitors. I'd like to keep it in the general price range.

* note that I already have the video card and the CPU comes with a cooler.

Not sure about the power supply.

155 dollars for 256 gb of storage is ridiculously high.

Are you avoiding M.2 drives for any particular reason?

CPU is certainly more than strong enough.

A DDR 5 option might cost you another 50 or 75, including a motherboard change.

I accidently picked the wrong SSD. I updated it. it's a 1GB M.2 for $110.

I'll look into the DDR5 vs 4

thanks
 
Everything is nice. The PSU is lacking ATX 3.0 but you might not care about that. It's only relevant if you will be adding a new GPU in the next few years.

For an extra twenty you could opt for:
Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 - TT Premium 650 ~$90
be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 650 or 750 ~$95

You don't need this if you plan on buying a brand new PC some 4-6 or more years into the future. Because you'll want a new PSU by then.

Depending on prices, you could pick the 14500 or the 13600K.
