Question Amazon PC Picking. A question of what for my needs.

[Pangys]

Hi.
Long story short:
PC go bad. Need new PC.

I need to use it with:
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Premiere Pro
OBS Studio
2 monitors
A graphics tablet monitor
Games including VR
Connect to the internet wirelessly

I'm not nearly computer literate enough to know what the minimum specs and stuff I need for that, and I want to get a prebuilt, preferably from Amazon, if not a trusted PC buying.
But I would Really appreciate if anyone could give me advice, and even better, links to PC listings available in the UK.

My budget is a minimum of £500, and I don't know on max. Maybe £1500. PC budgets aren't my strong suit.
I'm taking a loan out so my limit can be quite high, although I would need to pay it back in a year and a half.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You forgot to add your budget for your build. We have you location and your list of apps you're going to tax the proposed system with.

Since you're located in the UK, have you come across Overclockers.co.uk or Scan.co.uk? They have a range of prebuilts on their site.

I've gone to lots of sites, but truthfully, I wish I could find a site that has filters based on what I intend to use my PC for so I could have options based on that.
As someone who doesn't fully understand specs, this is more useful than being given generic options like Business, gaming, high performance gaming, or video and photo editing, since I'll essentially be using this PC for all of those.

That kinda doesn't exist, apart from your mentioned "Business, gaming, high performance gaming, or video and photo editing"

Basically, you're looking for a general purpose system. Not really centered on one particular use case.
(as many people are looking for, myself included)

About right I suppose.
I say "suppose" because I assume that a PC that's capable of running a VR headset and games might be strong enough anyway to do the other stuff I need it for anyway

Yup.

Look to the use case that needs the most hardware.
Build to that.
Everything else will fall in line.

PC's are amazingly good at multiple use cases.

Alright. Admittedly I am using Amazon to search rn.
I've been using the recommended requirements for a VR capable PC from here:

To find a suitable prebuilt PC for

Please don't just regurgitate AI results.

And for the OPs use and budget, the ones you list are amazingly underpowered.

If you google the best CPU's for adobe they say a i7 or i9 and a gpu with 24gb of ram is the best ..

which would probably do everything on your list with ease ..

Dow side is 1500 probably wouldnt cover it..

A b760 or a Z690 with a I7 13700k or 14700k and a 7900xtx would do exactly want to want ..

Also a 7950 on the AM5 platform would be a great buy as it will give you upgrade path later on with a 9000 series cpu !!

But your going to be looking at more money !!
