Hi,
My current computer is playing up with a terminal MOBO issue, so I’m looking to replace it. I’ve got a budget of up to £1,500, but not sure if I need to spend that much as I will mainly use it for Photoshop, Illustrator, occasional Video editing and some gaming. I would like to eventually upgrade my 1440p LG 27GL850 monitor to 4K though when the technology becomes more affordable.
I recently bought some components for my old PC and wondered if they could be used in the new build?
GPU Sapphire Radeon RX580 Nitro + 8GB GDDR5
PSU Seasonic Focus GX 650W Modular 80+
I thought that investing in a Ryzen CPU might be the favourable option, but then found out that the Intel's are cheaper and comparable in performance. So, I’m not really sure now what direction to go in.
Below are the parts that I’m contemplating and would appreciate any feedback and advice before purchasing.
Case Fan 3 X ARCTIC P12
Case Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh or Phanteks Eclipse P500
CPU Cooler Dark Rock Slim or MSI Core Frozr L
Internal HD - Seagate BarraCuda 2TB
SSD Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB
AMD
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Memory Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 C16 3600mhz
MOBO ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi)
Intel
CPU i5-11400F 2.60GHz (Would the lower clock speed be an issue?)
Memory Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 C16 3200mhz
MOBO MSI MAG B560 TOMAHAWK WIFI
Thanks
