New PC for Gaming/Streaming and running Poker Simulations

[Wodgy]

Hi Guys so the PC I have running atm was built by myself with parts from OCUK back in 2014. R9 280, 8GB DDR3, FX 8320 etc etc.
Budget wise I don't really have one but between £1000-£1500 would be the sweet spot including a 1440p 120/144hz monitor.
I'm not up to date on components anymore but have tried researching a bit over the last week so with that said probably looking at a 3600 CPU/5700 GPU build.
So ye, as said, I'm looking to stream/make gaming videos with my Boy and then I play poker as a passive income so I run Game theory solvers that require a decent amount of RAM.

Cheers.

been a few poker sims on here- from what i recalled, intel won over ryzen but that was before Ryzen 3000 series came in, which features faster clock speed and increased performance

gigabyte one of 2 out of 6 vendors to do 3 yr warranty on RX cards, rest only do 2 years !

look for Crucial P1 NVMe 1tb drive or corsair 960gb nvme! if your doing a lot of stacks and tables... will help!!!

intel version. have slight edge in gaming FPS and maybe with most Poker sims- but would take some research
