Convince me one way other please guys.
Not a serious gamer (a little bit of GTA) want to build a new rig for work VM's, Adobe, Youtube, Premiere, Vlogging etc.

Not serious overclocking interest. Visual RGB a must. 32G and then 64G of memory. Already have SSD and spinning disks and graphics. £1200 for case, PSU, MB, CPU and RAM and M2.

Keep going round the Ryzen and Intel loop. Ryzen is looking favourite at the moment. That said, Intel never let me down and my i2600k still going well after 7 years. So I'd leave Intel reluctantly. No one got fired for buying Intel right so the saying goes.....

EDIT: Meant to say in thread title Ryzen 2700X
 
Intel 8700/8700k or 9900k since your using Adobe products .
Intel makes it easier to have a lot more memory as well .
Thread ripper would be best way for VMs due to grabbing 12 with 24 threads . All depends on how many VM you run and how much core/threads they need
 
I'd have to recommend Ryzen, especially as the new 7nm ones are just around the corner and will drop straight into whichever board you buy with a bios update, these chips will have more cores and I'd imagine be on a par with a 9900k, if not better.

What a lot of people forget is AMD built these new chips to compete with Intel's 10nm ice lake which doesn't even exist yet, not Intel's current line up.
