Hi all,
I'm looking to buying my first machine and admittedly I don't know much about PC building or component specs.
Monitor:
I would need a new decent monitor for gaming mainly, I have an extra one for working or other functions which won't require anything special which I can also plug in as second screen. Budget-wise it should fit with the overall budget.
Uses:
Gaming: I always played on laptops with low or medium performances and I would like to play games on high specs for once. Games include Souls-like, Forza, The Sims 4, FIFA, Final Fantasy XV, GTA V, Hitman III...well a ton more
Streaming: Hosting streaming of gameplays or watch parties using OBS, Streamlabs, Streamyard etc
Editing: Video editing with Davinci resolve or After effect, Graphic editing with Photoshop, Illustrator or GIMP
Rendering: I would like to try out a few rendering software with a good enough machine
Working: Spreadsheets, Visual studio code... I mean nothing too demanding
Budget:
Everything (including monitor) within £2,500
Not sure what other info I can provide with. Ideally I would like a machine which I can use for the next 3(?) years smoothly without having to upgrade or overclock (also because I don't know how to). However by that time ideally I would try to educate myself in upgrading my machine so perhaps this PC would be something I can build upon in the future.
I picked a preconfigured Fusion Ultimate as it looked decent within the budget and just changed I couple of things. Please let me know what I can optimise to get the best performances for my budget. Thanks!
