Hi looking to put together a new rig could someone please post one as I'm a bit clueless. My budget is £1200 and my oy two requirements are;

-Must have Ryzen 3700x
-Must have an Nvidia card

I'm mainly using for streaming/gaming and video/photo editing

Thank you so much!
 
MSI B450 Tomahawk is bang per buck choise for mobo.

For memory 2x8GB is like £80-90
Though if you know you'll be needing lots of memory for that photo/videe editing, 2x16GB would start at £120

Do you have any extra storage ready or need it?
And speaking of that do you need it pre-built or build it/upgrad it yourself?

Phanteks Amp would be 10 year warranty PSU to use over full PC upgrade.

Thanks for the reply. I would prefer to build it myself as the add on charge for pre builds is quite ridiculous if I'm honest. I've upgraded old pcs of mine which my brother built so I dont feel its a tough job

I would prefer a 16gb setup for sure. I was thinking to get Corsair RM 750 for the PSU as it's similar price to the one you linked

I'm still lost on a card I want something good was thinking 2070S

Also that mobo is it upgradable? As in if I ever want a 3900x or 3950x?
 
SSD prices have been going up, so if you can get some storage space from old PC that would also help.

2070 Super is the most expensive NVidia with any sense and even that isn't such great with not that much better performance than Radeon 5700 XT for major amount higher price.
Also next-gen consoles bring around 2080 Super level GPU as base level.
Now is simply historically bad time to buy expensive graphics card.

With good case cooling B450 Tomahawk would be good for 12/16 cores, especially in gaming loads.
But VRM is at its upper end of its "comfort zone" and if ambient temperature rises full all core load like video encoding would make it sweat.

Yeah I feel like it's a sucky time to buy a gpu

If that's the case with the mobo what is a better option? I dont mind paying a tad bit more. I want something in this budget more or less but also durable.

I have ssds laying around so that's fine also what is vrm what's it got to do with?

Boards with actually stronger VRMs, which would handle top CPUs without problems even in warmer case cost like £70-80 more
Half the MSI's X570 range isn't really much any better than B450 Carbon/Tomahawk and also Gigabyte's two lowest boards aren't that much better.
So for this kind budget MSI B450 Tomahawk is darn good.

VRM feeds/powers the CPU.
 
@EsaT Toma and A-Pro same PCB/VRMs . Carbon arranged like ASUS wiith more chokes. Carbon naturally if one can afford. x570 Gigabyte UD use to be £115 but now pulled and top level B550 would make 10 Phase design
