Hey all,

Will try and keep this brief. Looking to get a basket for a completely new rig - don't need accessories or monitors (although am due an upgrade so might get opinions).

What I use the computer for

- Streaming (not games, although having that as an option would be good)
- Sony Vegas Pro video editing (quite basic - trimming, adding to timeline, adding transitions)
- Photoshop

What I'd like / prefer

- I've always been an intel / Nvidia type of guy but am open to arguments towards AMD
- Think it's about time I went to 32gb RAM
- Option to stream games as well as just myself on webcam over an image

Think that's about it. Budget is around £1500-2000. I know that's quite open but I'd rather pay for something that will last me a while than have to keep upgrading (last computer I built was through these forums and it's lasted me 7+ years!).

Obviously closer to £1500 the better.

Also hoping Overclockers would build it for me for an additional cost? Don't think I can go through the stress of building my own again!

Cheers

adobe is always pro Intel but has improved . only the 6 core above but sure with Vegas Pro AMD should have a nice lead !

With photoshop as well as video editing the more cores of 3700/3800x and faster speed will gain back performance as well - though looks like your not doing anything to taxing in regards to editing

what version of Vegas are you using ?

seems rendering Nvidia is better then CPU

will you be gaming at all ? and whats your current monitor ? also are you working with 4k or 1080p?

There's always a chance I'll be gaming but it's not a top priority - I'd definitely like the option.

Current monitor is also 7+ years old! SAmsung 27" LED - HDMI. Also have a second smaller monitor working off DVI. I probably need to upgrade to 3 x 24" or 2 x 27+ at some point.

I'm working in 1080 for now. I don't think I'm in a rush to go to 4k
