I've been out of the loop for quite some time (over 15 years) and looking to put together a new desktop for general work and light photoshop (hobby).

Budget is around £1400 and I already have 2 screens which I intend to keep, Dell UltraSharp U2515H (2560 x 1440)

As I'm not interested in a gaming rig my only graphics requirements are that it should run my current screens and hopefully a 3rd monitor (which I will add later as funds permit). If it can run 4x 4k monitors at not much more expense, then even better for future proofing.

I’d rather buy Intel rather than AMD, just a personal preference.

To kick things off, here’s my current wish list:
  • Intel 9th gen Core i7 9700k
  • Samsung 1TB EVO M2 NVME x 2
  • 32GB RAM (I guess Crucial)
Not sure on motherboard, graphics card or CPU, could someone pls advice.
Or even if onboard graphics will do the job.

Prefer a white case with see-through on one side as I quite light the idea of LED strips.

Additional bits like case fans, heatsinks and paste I have no idea on. Also, prefer to have a quiet PC so anything that would help in that regard, would be appreciated.

I have a NAS I can use for additional storage, hence no spindle-drive on the desktop, which should keep it quiet.

Look forward to the recommendations, quite excited at my first rig since 2004!
