OK folks, my Pentium G3258 has given up the ghost and I have decided for once I need a good PC. Now, due to budget constraints I am keeping (for now) my GTX 750Ti, but plan on upgrading everything else now. My question is, as I am using this for content creation (Adobe CC Apps - yes, after effects is painful on a Pentium, VERY painful in fact) and gaming. I don't do much but I would like the ability to play AAA titles in 1080p at minimum at least. As far as budget goes, sell I have a road map.

The Motherboard (EATX OR ATX), CPU (Kaby/coffee lake or Ryzen 7 I think) and RAM should come at no more than £600 (that's $785)

Storage: SAMSUNG 960 Evo 250GB M.2 SSD, plus 1TB of SSD storage and as much mechanical storage that I can get away with for under £200 (for just the mechanical drives and the SSDs. I already own the m.2,)

Power, £150 max here, has to be fully modular.

Anything else I missed, like case and, of course, RGB was intentional, but recommendations are wanted.

thanks in advance

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

So your budget comes to around £950,

I'll see what i can come up with but i think a ryzen would be more ideal than a Intel if your mainly using stuff like Adobe cc & after effect 

Some people prefer a challenge, I just band my head against a wall until my method works...

That's assuming you want to keep the 750Ti, even with such a high end machine. If you don't, drop-down to an 8400 and get a 1060 6GB. 

idk
