Hello
I’m wanting to build a micro atx non-gaming or overclocking system. At 76 I suppose I could be considered moderately knowledgeable regarding computers, but know little of components.

Probably the most “demanding” function would be video editing, and, as strange as it may sound at my age, some nice LED lighting.

A Thermalake P3 would be my first choice for a case, but if that’s not practical, a Corsair Obsidian Series 350D would work. I obviously like seeing the beauty of the components. A young man at our church would be able to help me assemble.

7th Gen i5 6500or 6600k with Thunderbolt / USB 3. Ports, and Display Port,

My question then would be which Asus Z 170 would be the best choice, Video card and air cooler system? I assume the Noctua N H D15 would be overkill? If so, maybe a nice midsize w/ tubes and possibly (LEDs)?

At my age, and with my modest demands of the system, I have no plans for upgrading in the future.
With this in mind, may I be so bold as to ask for your recommendations?

Thank you in advance.

Something Like this should work out very well for you.

-AMD's Ryzen5 CPU with 6 physical cores +6, it's going to do very well for everyday tasks as well as your video rendering/editing.
-Enough ram to cover everything (make sure to set bios profile to use the higher speed ram)
-Motherboard can be whichever you want really... since you will most likely never overclock, anything around 70$+ is fairly good, take it on looks --- although, something with RGB color scheme would go around 120$ or so(make sure it supports chosen ram speed, which in this case would be 2933Mhz, but the ram spec is 3000mhz. that's just the way Ryzen run)
-Videocard is actually used for rendering as well on modern programs, which generally recommend a GTX1070...

-Videocard is actually used for rendering as well on modern programs, which generally recommend a GTX1070... But I don't think that the lack in performance is going to bother you too much (wouldn't bother me either... not a significant difference for home use) --- Can buy a "flashier" card with ~50$ more
-Power supply, anything around 550w is more than enough, and can be your aim
- You may need to buy windows 10
-the thermaltake p3 case looks pretty nice and looks very nice even with regular parts in it, just because of the "exposed" aspect. If you do not have pets, then you should be good to go with that one, no problem.


you were pretty far down, so I'm just going to give you a guideline of what I think you should go for, otherwise, as far as flash and RGB setups..... there are many products and guides, it's a personal choice. I think you should decide on the case, and see what others have done to get ideas about what you want to do.

Excellent, and thanks.

I'll be looking at these components and checking vendors. I have an older Asus A6? system and a new Dell XPS 13 w/ gen7 i5. It is blazing fast but would rather not use it for video editing, even with my larger Dell 2417 monitor.
