Question Proposed new build - video editing - no Gaming

[sargan]

After many questions and advice on components in various sub forums .... think I have come to my choice for a build.
The PC is for general Office Apps work, plus the processor-heavy tasks of image & video editing (4k 100fps in Davinci)

Sort of arrived at the following, any glaring incompatibilities or options to consider, my biggest quandary was the Motherboard, and whether to use ASRock B650e Taichi LIte ... same price range.

Build expected to order in September
No specific budget .... based of spec required
No monitor
Possibly buy W11 Pro
Based in UK

There is no such thing as a Ryzen 9 9700, so going to assume you meant Ryzen 7 9700x base on that clock speed. If so, I would go with a 7900x instead for the same price. Please follow the guide in my sig, for build advice, and come back here with all relevant questions answered. Also please list your build using Pcpartpicker. It helps with ensuring compatibility, and makes it easier to find you a better deal.

apologies - delete the thread, and I'll rethink and resubmit

You do not need to do that, and you did nothing wrong. We can continue here. We do not need multiple threads with the same question. It just helps us help you a bit easier, as we have all relevant information.

Keep the Aorus Master X670E mobo, it has more pcie 5.0 lanes and better connectivity.

You need 6000mhz CL30 rams or 6400/CL32 kit. 64gb would be ideal.

You would need more than a 1tb drive if you are working with 4k video files. I would suggest 2tb T700.

If you tell us your budget and location, we can help you more.

Would use 2TB M.2 (Crucial) as main storage for OS & Apps, current work
Second M.2 (WD) to provide media storage.

My initial error on Processor numbers is hopefully corrected - its Ryzen R 9 9900X unless Ryzen R9 7900X is a more cost effective choice .... it seems very similar spec - but TPD is 41% higher.

Could also use the 7950X ... seems to be well liked Processor, but has same high power consumption as 7900X

You would want to run it with PBO 2 enabled, which would nullify the TDP gains. The Liquid Freezer III is capable of cooling 170W ez.
