(_ I can go max 1700€ _)

(_ I have all the peripherals so don't worry about those _)

 

I own a Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2012 ( I5 with 500gb HDD 10GB RAM ( 8+2  ) integrated GPU)

 

Currently I'm studying a course about software hardware and internet its called SMX-in spain ( translated to eglish-Microcomputer systems and networks )

 

Now that I'm going to start the 2nd year we are going to use more then 2 VM's at once ( Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Desktop, Windows 7 or 10 );

I'm learning Premiere Pro/ Photoshop/Lightroom/(Light)Illustrator  (not all at once but i do personal projects that includes some of them for the same projects etc);

I'm playing casually LOL, PUBG(when I'll have the PC), CSGO) and more when I'll have the PC;

 

I thought a lot on going to Ryzen 2700 or 1800x but after watching a lot of videos I ended up going with Intel just because premiere pro and games love higher Frequency then more cores

 

Are there any changes i should do?

Intel doesn't care about RAM speeds as much as Ryzen does, so you could save some money by going with a slower kit of 32Gb DDR4, maybe down to 2400Mhz.

Oh I didn't know that, thanks! ;

2x16gb 2400mhz or 4x8gb 2400mhz?

2x16Gb personally, leaves room for a 64Gb expansion in the future if you need that much RAM for some reason.

@ZPryttex Isn't Gskill type ram quite expensive compared to Corsair or Crucial?

 

If so I would go to one of them brands, you may save a bit of money which you could put into upgrades. I currently use Crucial and I think there pretty decent. I will be buying Corsair Vengeance for my new 1.7k build I will be doing next year.
