Thank-you. ive done some reconsidering and I've decided to go with a Ryzen 1600 rather than intel. The remaining thing I've left to buy is the GPU. I've decided to futureproof a little and go for the 1070. I want a quiet one, but struggling as to which. Having done some reading, people advise...

Thanks for the advice, really appreciated. On the RAM - I do a lot of photo work and currently have 16GB on my laptop. I get occassional errors/complains in photoshop about RAM usage so long-term would like to have 32GB. I've selected a single 16GB so I can upgrade - but is performance terrible...

I'm intending to buy the following tomorrow. Grateful for a sanity check on the parts I've selected and a suggestion as to which of the many 1060/6GB GPU cards I should opt for. Keen not to spend more than I need to, but conscious about space, noise, heat. Many thanks for any suggestions...

Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder whether I should be sticking with Intel rather than going the AMD route? I understand Intel works better with video editing at least. Any thoughts on that? The case you've suggested is a bit bigger than I was anticipating. Ideally I would mount the case to...

Hello, I want to buy/build a new PC for my downstairs living area - will be used as a family computer. Kids aren't quite old enough for 'gaming' so not inclined to build it specifically around that, but I imagine their interest will only grow. I so a lot of high-resolution photography...
