Gaming build help/advice desperately needed!

[PARVENIO]

Was recommended OVERCLOCKERS by a work colleague when discussing my desire to get a desktop machine.
I am an avid gamer/graphic designer (logo design on adobe suite etc)/video editor (hoping to start a YouTube channel soon) and would like to get into streaming potentially.

I do really need some help regarding a build that would allow me to play the top/newer games on high-ultra settings at the best fps.

My current budget would be between £700-£1050

I have two monitors already so they would not be needed, but i would need keyboard and a mouse added into that price also. Also, an operating system (but this is not essential).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advanced!

Thanks for the quick response @orbitalwalsh

Regarding Intel core i7 v AMD Ryzen which would you say is the better solely for gaming?
Also just from my own 'digging' (by digging i mean watching random YouTube videos lol) i saw this build:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgiPcNRDcfI

Im assuming that is way out of my price range, but performance wise would there be a huge difference (i dont want to replicate the build in the video btw, i was just curious!)

EDIT - If i could stretch to 1200, what would you change?

If you like looking at benchmark numbers, then the Intel is faster. If you just like gaming at good frames and aren't influenced by slightly higher numbers, either will do you fine.

Intel has the edge, specially at 1080p , higher Res they lose some of their edge .

Will have a look at the video later tonight
