New system build £1500 - £1700

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

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

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.
