Not quite following, in your other thread you have a £6-700 budget... How are you now getting a Ryzen 3950X CPU? That's your whole budget gone on just the CPU :p

Your posts aren't very clear, you need to give more info and a fuller picture what you're trying to achieve and with what budget £££.
 
So to be clear, you have a £1000 total budget? And you want a full new PC for video/music editing? Do you do any gaming and need a good graphics card?

What parts exactly do you need - is it the case and everything inside? i.e. motherboard, processor, RAM, graphics card, SSD, power supply etc
 
should have been more clear from post 1
I do not play games and have a 1050 TI card
But do you think this is just wasting money
a bit of vegas 17 editing in 4 k watching movies playing music with a marantz 1013 with sound Blaster optical out
Got the power supply no monitor as use 8ktv have a 500g ssd drive with 8 4tb Hard Drives and lots of usb 3 drives
 
What's the full PC spec you have currently?

That's a lot of storage you have, so you have 9 drives altogether? Be better off having all that in a NAS and backed up really if it's important data you don't want to lose.
 
Considering you have so many drives, you might want to re-use your case? If you want something newer, then have a look around for one that can hold so many drives... (nine?!) You can re-use your 1050 Ti if you're not gaming, also re-use your SATA card too as the mobo only has 6x SATA ports.

But something as straight forward as this 3700X, 32GB RAM, B450 board and a new 550w PSU should suffice really. If you've managed so long with that system doing your video/sound editing, a 3700X will be a massive upgrade and I suspect you don't need anything better unless you really want to burn the money on a better CPU?

If your SSD is fairly new, then you could re-use that for your Windows drive as well and save £75. But if you want a new drive for Windows and your programs etc, then grab the NVMe drive I suggested below too.

Edit: The B450 board below has 5x USB ports and 1x USB-C on the rear, if that's not enough and you have lots of USB devices, you could get an X570 board like this Gigabyte one.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £731.91 (includes shipping: £0.00)
