New system build £1500 - £1700

[Wookiee]

Looking at getting a new PC for my birthday and have around £1500 - £1700 to spend unsure what would be best to go for AMD 3700 or Intel mainly will be for games but will also be doing some video editing I don't monitor or windows.

Would also get OC to build as I generally don't get the time these days.

Any builds or help would be very helpful

If Adobe then Intel leads with exporting and AMD with playback, but depends on how much editing you'll be doing to gaming .

Also what's your monitor Hz, resolution and any sync tech ?

I use Vegas at the moment as I only do a little bit of editing, about 80% of the time will be for gaming and rest for work apps etc.

I have a 144hz monitor which supports freeSync, I have also been looking at the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...7-2700x-geforce-rtx-2070-super-fs-1dw-og.html but doing a few upgrade etc

Been doing some looking around and been thinking of getting this type of system and OC to build any thoughts

Power Supply- Corsair RM Series RM850 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply
CPU / Memory / Motherboard - AMD Ryzen 9 3900X OEM Processor (Bundle)
Cooler- Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU Cooler
SSD- Black 500GB SN750 M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen3 Solid State Drive Includes Heatsink
GPU - GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming OC 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card

You probably want a motherboard to start off with otherwise you will struggle to get anything running.

you will need AIO for 3900x and OC. Do you need the 12cores? If not I think 3700x is probably what you really want. There is £100 in it.

the nvme Drive is very small. You games (steam) you will need a 1TB drive min. For video edits you need something that has high endurance, so something like a Corsair MP510 if you can still get them. I think the new ones are MP600 now.

that 2080 super is horribly overpriced. Depend on what you game at (4K or 1440p) you maybe ok with 2070 super or 5700xt or if you really want 2080 then shop around and bag £100


You will probably want to get a X570 motherboard or B550 when they come out for PCIe 4 slots for future GPU.

I choose the bundle which comes with CPU/Motherboard/Memeory - my mistake I just put the 3900x in the name

I already have 2x ssd which are in my other system which I will be taking from it, reason why I was going for the 3900x was it was a bundle and as I have around £2k to spend i might as well go better so it will last longer (Hopefully)

True it is expensive but plan on getting it built by OC as I generally don't have the time to build it myself etc and not built a PC in 10 years or so.

A £45 air cooler is perfectly fine for a 3900x.
