I am currently looking for a system that will run Photoshop/Illustrator/After Effects but will also allow me to do some high end gaming/streaming. Slightly odd demands but I am fairly sure I have this nailed down with these specs but I am open to any suggestions as long as I can stay under £1400 (was offered a macbook or the money as it's for college :shifty: )
This system is one I'm hoping to have for at least 3-4 years so I figured I would go fairly high end off the bat, as I said though trying to keep it sub £1400.
