ASUS TUF B650-PLUS WIFI Mobo + AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU + FREE 1TB WD SN770 SSD Bundle 429.98
above is a bundle offer away with free delivery so mobo, cpu, 1tb ssd
then same place is 32gb ddr5 corsair vengeance rgb 6000c36 ram for £112.49 so total here is £542.47
from OCuk
My basket at OcUK:
Total: £714.97 (includes delivery: £0.00)
above is £1257.44..just add an air cooler for £40 and add the streaming gear(bow to above for that)...just wanted to show alternative to the prebuilt you put for £1599 from Ocuk
posu is overkill but allows a more powerful gpu upgrade in future. not corsair top tier psu's, that the RM'x' series, but still good,gold rated and fully modular unlike the bronze in the prebuild
the 7800xt is faster than the 4070 in raster, but slower when you put raytracing on and lacks dlss..but seeing as your son wants to do walkthru's, think raster more than good enough and the higher fps for raster might be better...a 4070, add £60 roughly to cost
you could add a 2tb 2nd drive like the firecuda 530 2tb for £109 also if you don't want a spinning disk for the streaming/recording aspect etc and use the 1tb as the boot drive and other stuff.
i chose the amd for it's upgradeability as in a couple years(or sooner you could drop in a much better cpu..amd next gen will be compatible with AM5 for instance). they also use less pwer to run so at the mo you can get away with a decent air cooler for £40
As tetras says, the 13700f is more powerful at mo for productivity, but platform is end of life really..14th gen just launched is basically a refresh with same cpu's on higher clocks, and use a lot more power and will require a lot more cooling
Also, you and you son can have fun building it together..plenty of Yt tutorials, paulshardware, pccentric and others have good vids on how to put them together
