Here is my current parts selection for a PC that will be heavily used for Blender 3.1 and some video editing.
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
be quiet! Silent Base 802 ATX Mid Tower Case
The PC part picker tells me that I need a stock CPU cooler, which one should I get?
It also indicates that I might need to upgrade the BIOS, is this something I should try to avoid, and if not, how do I do this?
About the case, it says:
Is this a good selection of parts or could something be better? I was considering the 3050 GPU card for 100 dollars less, is it worth it to spend an extra 100 for 3060?
How many fans do I need to add to the case? Should I get an AIO?
Trying to keep this in the 1500 dollar range. 1700 would be OK if it were really worth it.
Found a discount code for Windows, is this legit? https://biitt.ly/kPBz6
It comes from a PC Builder video:

Will this expire soon? Should I go ahead and download it to a flash drive?
Also, how loud can i expect this build to be?
Is there anything else I need to know? I feel like I am probably missing something important.
Thank you for any advice!!!
