Hi guys.
So ive been using my store bought HP for the last 9 years and i'm looking to upgrade. Like every beginner i'm wanting to squeeze one of those £5000 monster builds into a budget of about £2000 so as you can tell, any help will be appreciated. Was looking at another pre-built but then i hear all the stories of "technically getting what you ordered" but its cheap RAM, a dodgy board and an unreliable PSU etc so i figure i should weigh up options and possibly build my own.
This is for Gaming and streaming, some editing as well as general use. I kinda live on my PC so although it doesn't have to be super focussed for any one thing id like it flexible enough for me to "join in" with multiple things etc and futureproofed enough that im not needing to upgrade again in 12 months.
I do have some benchmarks that i want to aim for.
Minimum 16gb, pref 32gb RAM.
2TB HDD + min 500gb SSD
Already on an (older) I7 so dont want to step back.
Some shiny RGB light nonsense (yes im a noob lol)
For reference this is what i've been running for nigh on the last decade.

....and this is what i have created by pushing buttons on the store though i have no idea if this is good.
