Time for a new PC

[Joost S]

Budget (including currency): 1000€-1500€

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: The computer will mostly be used by my wife who works for a television station. In our country we are encouraged to work from home, due to the pandemic. The program used is Adobe Creative suite. Occasionally the computer is used for gaming such as WoW, MTGA, Starcraft II......

I was thinking to switch from intel to AMD based on some reviews I've read. But being unexperienced with building pc's I really don't know what to pick to make a solid, reliable pc. Normally I would go to the store but again, Covid, you only can order and pick it up. I also would let the store handle the assembly cause I am scared of doing something wrong. 

Other details At the moment we use an Intel  Core i7-4770K Cpu, 8 GB ram and a Radean HD6800 serie GPU. 

*edit: I won't be needing a keyboard or mouse. And I want the case to be white. Like the Fractal Design Define 7 White Solid

Is a 2x 16GB kit more expensive than two 2x 8GB...?

reviewers showed that 4 sticks of ram have a significant performance boost on ryzen 5000 series, that's why I went with 4x8gb

Is this setup Future proof? With the new AMD GPU? I've read about thé crucial memory unfortunately the store does not sell that brand, do you suggest another brand? And indeed i'll need 2 drives. One for the programs and thé other one for document saving.

For the adobe suite and wow, the 2060 is enough

Any ram that has 3600c16 or 3400c16 is good

But thé new RX gpu would work?

It seems that the motherboard doesn't work unless I would do an update?
