No, Priority is video editing then gaming, thats why i plan to get the Ryzen 3900X in the future for more Cores

Hi everyone. So this is my PC build plan, Sorry the image is bit too small to see, This will be my first build. Is there anything i'm missing or need to know before i go ahead and buy these items? I chose the X570 Motherboard because i'm planning to upgrade to Ryzen 9 3900X in the future. My budget was strictly £700 but i've already gone over because of the new motherboard, the original plan was to get the Asus X470 Board. Thanks

Can someone advise between MSI X470 Gaming PRO and MSI X470 Gaming Pro CARBON Motherbaords, the price difference is big but the specs look identical, i want to get one of these soon.

I've always thought a Bottleneck only happens in gaming but I've been told it can happen in other areas aswel. I mainly play games on consoles and do some occasional streaming using a game capture hooked to a PC, My next PC build is aimed at CAD and Video editing tasks and streaming being the least priority, So my main forcus is getting a good CPU first before I look at a GPU, Infact I'm willing to get a low end GPU for a start and then upgrade later. My Currrent Rig is Dual Xeon E5-2690, 16 core/ 32 threads with a GTX 960 4GB and Quadro K620 and 32GB RAM So my question is if I jump on the upcoming Ryzen 3900X, 12 cores /24 threads with 16GB RAM, would a GTX 1050 2GB be a Bottleneck in Video editing and CAD? Remember this not a gaming PC but it will be used for occasional game streaming. And on another PC would a GTX 960 2GB be a bottleneck on a PC running a Ryzen 1700? I have a spare GTX 960 so I thought it would save me some money for now until I'm ready to get a bigger GPU.  Your thoughts and advice is greatly appreciated

Hi everyone I'll be building a PC for the First Time. I've got a few questions regarding CPU Temperature and applying thermal paste on RYZEN 7 1700 with the stock heatsink which comes with the CPU. (1). I looked through a couple of videos on YouTube on how to apply paste and the Method which I fill I would be most comfortable with as a first time PC builder, would be the "Spread method" because I can see how the paste is covering the CPU. But I've also noticed this is the Least recommended method and people say it's the worst. The other method which seemed interesting was applying paste directly on heatsink contacts /points and the placing it on the CPU. Does it really matter which method is used and is badly applied paste the same as No paste? (2) After I finish building, how will I know if the Temperature is OK or Not? For Example which range is considered normal temperature - 40°C 50°C, 60°C? etc. What other advice can you give to a first time builder. Thanks

PSU - 800W, if I go for the Ryzen build then I'll be left with enough change for a bigger GPU...

Hi everyone I need some advice and recommendations on getting a CAD workstation. The budget is really tight £1,000. I can't seem to decide between building a - - Asus Prime B350 plus -Ryzen 7 1700X 8 core CPU -GTX 1060 3GB -16GB RAM *DDR4* TOTAL £756 OR buying TWO Old Dell Precision T5600 workstations at £500 each with the following specs PC 1 Dell T5600 - Dual Intel Xeon 2690, 8 core each totaling to 16 cores and 32 threads -64GB RAM *DDR3* -Nvidia Quadro K620 Price £600 PC 2 Dell T5600 Dual Intel Xeon E5-2660, 8 core each, totalling to 16 cores and 32 threads aswel -GTX 1050 2GB -32GB RAM *DDR3* Price £500 Which of the above scenarios would you recommend in terms of Performance and Value? I know going with Dell systems means saying goodbye to the latest CPUs and DDR4 but the Dell systems will also give me a total of 32 cores and 64 threads combined with lost of DDR3 RAM on both machines. Please Advise Thanks
