Upgrading from a Dell xsp15 9570 to a desktop

[Kitsonian]

Budget (including currency): £1800 max

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Productivity, Video editing (Premiere Pro) Design work (Indesign & Photoshop)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I'm looking to move from a Dell xps15 (9570 but with an overkill 64GB of ram) which has been my daily driver for a few years to a better desktop solution.

 

I'll continue using the xps for in the office work stuff but transition all my video editing and creation work to the desktop.

 

I'm not particularly interested in Gaming and not at all in the aesthetics (not interested in RGB etc), it's really all productivity performance I'm after, bang for the buck as Linus would say.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? I went on pc part picker and did this and wondered if there was anything mental about it / where i could make savings or improvements?

 

I think i'm pretty computer literate but never build before.

First off, select UK PCPartPicker. Don't pay full price for OS key, reseller will have it for £20 not £120. A system like this should do, if my assumptions that all your software is CPU dependent. Faster clocks might be more beneficial but not sure if £70 more beneficial. Budget even allows for a 4k monitor for productivity. Case might be gAmEr but comes with all fans so no need to spend extra unlike others. Consider something like this:
