Editor new to PCs, what should I do?

[naamex]

HI! I'm a professional editor. I've used Macs my entire life, but I'm making the switch to Windows because I need a new computer and Macs just have become overpriced and underpowered for what I'm looking for. I have no idea what computer to buy, but I've been really looking into buying an Alienware Aurora R11 and I'm waiting for them to release the 3000 RTX GPUs configs. What would you guys do in my case? Are the Auroras worth it? Are there other brands I could look for? And I'm not comfortable with building my own computer, I have no clue 

 

Thanks in advance!

I can't really recommend Dell pre-builds. They typically use non-standard motherboards, cases, and power supplies which makes upgrading a pain. Where are you located? If you're not comfortable building your own computer, you should look into custom build options near you. Lots of computer retailers offer a service where you pick out the parts you want, and then they assemble it for you for a small fee. That way, you're using all standard components, so upgrading is a lot easier.
