My slightly venerable 5820k system died a few days ago so I'm looking for an upgrade bundle.

PC is only rarely used for gaming, but a fair amount of photo & video work (Photoshop/Premiere/Lightroom plus a bit of Davinci).

Existing RAM is 16gb DDR4 2400, so likely a bit slow and also possible it's faulty so will probably need to replace.

Case is full tower (some huge bequiet behemoth :) )

I'm at least 4 years out of date on specs, so fairly clueless ....

I saw a 3900x/x570 Auros/16gb Corsair bundle for £650, which seemed OK .


Any suggestions welcome - open to used via MM here as well.

Cheers
 
Thanks - looks like that mobo wont have enough internal sata ports, but at least the idea is in range :)

Any views on whether the 3900x is the best bet?
