CPU: same as before, good CPU for multicore performance, slightly lagging behind Intel in gaming, but only small FPS drops
MB: not much to say, it is good
cooler: basically the best low cost option
GPU: enough for small resolution gaming
RAM: enough again, some say that having two RAM sticks is better than having one, so maybe go for 2x 8GB instead of 1x 16GB?
PS: I have the same one, except a semi modular one because of money. I wholeheartedly recommend a fully modular one for space reasons like you have hear, just watch out, they are sometimes hard to distinguish between fully and semi modulars
Case: really pretty, also looks like it has nice internal cable routing. I would recommend buying two more ventilators (bigger than the two already included so you have higher pressure inside the case) for optimal cooling
If you were to find something directly comparable to your 3600, I would look at some benchmarks such as this one https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/a ... ew,11.html and then looking at the price range. Then there are tailor-made benchmarks for specific stuff, like video editing (I found a couple for computational fluid dynamics and went with them for my own use, just look at several and not just one)
3600 at the CPU means only the name, 3200 with RAM is its speed, 3200 is fine, AMD CPUs want higher speeds if they are going to be happy, but anything above 2800 mhz has really small gains, so 3200 is fine.
Editing videos depends mainly on their length and resolution, so maybe you are just using small ones, or your cousins PC might also have been a beast in its day :D
