Thoughts on some builds

[Sneach2]

I have 3 builds that I am looking at. Just wanted some peoples thoughts on which one is the best.

Option 1: Prebuilt system from MSY http://www.msy.com.au/viconline/mspec-gaming-pc/20266-mspec-infinity-gaming-system-amd-edition.html

Option 2: PC Partpicker build guide https://au.pcpartpicker.com/guide/xDNnTW/gaming-streaming-and-editing-build

Option three: This thing https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/CZyZhq

 

I need this pc mostly for multimedia purposes, although I would like to start playing more games. Ideally I want to be able to run 3D rendering programs smoothly, edit large premiere pro/after effects files and play games like PUBG with good frame rate on highish settings. My budget is about 2.5k AUD but isn't set in stone. Please let me know if you need any more info.

Your own build but I would suggest a Noctua rather than the AIO since I'm fairly sure the D15 will perform better than the one you've selected.

Yeah agree, or if not the NH-U12S is still good

Keep in mind that the AM4 socket has a different mounting system so you'll have to get the AM4 version.

This is an RGB build which has a 1700 and a high-resolution monitor. It also has a 1080ti even though I know many people now will tell me to switch the 1080ti with a higher refresh rate monitor. You can do it, okay? JK!

Would you guys mind elaborating please? Why would that be better for me?
