New Custom Pc £900-1000

[Ethan Rotherham]

Looking to get a new build for photoshop, illustrator etc. But also to play games aswell. Looking for Atleast a i5 processor or equivalent, 8-16gb of ram, 240gb+ ssd and Atleast 1tb hard drive. Already got two cases in mind so if the build could be based around one of the cases linked below that would be brilliant . Budget is £900-£1000, this excludes keyboard, mouse and monitor etc etc.

Thanks in advance

i know it's not the case you want...but in return, you can squeeze in a 5700xt and a 1tb ssd
can also drop the hdd if you want to bring it to £1000, given that the build already has 1tb storage

You're more than welcome. Hopefully some more people will weigh in with alternative ideas. AMD really have knocked it out of the park with their newest Ryzen cpus.

If you need help with putting it together etc then feel free to ask here - we're a (mostly) helpful bunch

edit - aaannnd Tamzzy shows up right on cue. He's worth listening to for specs also. Plec and Orbitalwalsh are also very good and if you search the forums you can find many of their builds which will more or less suit your budget
