New Build for Low Experience Builder

Hello experienced builders of LTT,

 

I am a novice builder with only one previously built computer. My current daily driver is a Scan 3XS "custom laptop" sporting an i7 x GTX 1060 x 16GB ram. I am currently looking to replace it with a mid size tower ideally. My budget is £12-1400 and I am open to both Intel and AMD. My main priorities are both gaming (mostly FPS R6 Seige etc) and some design work with the Adobe ecosystem. This is my first solo build so I am open to any and all suggestions.

 

Currently I am looking at this - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XJ7G7W but again I am open to change.

 

Any and all help is appreciated,

Regards

Sam

 

**Edit, got an old 1200W PS and a Samsung 120GB 840 EVO SSD in storage

I don't see an SSD in the list, do you have one already? If not, toss in an SSD like a 250GB Samsung or something. It will definitely help out a ton.

Get the Ryzen 3600, change B450 to Tomahawk, upgrade RAM to a minimum of 3200MHz and get the 5700XT over the 2070.. And throw an SSD in there, that's extremely important for any workload..
