Hi all,
I haven't been keeping up with the news in the world of PC building over the last few years and I saw that it's moved forward quite a bit. We're up to implementing DDR5 RAM and AMD moving out of AM4 as well, really quite exciting!
I am currently building a PC and I wanted to know if there are better/newer alternatives that I may not be aware of. I would love to hear your input.
My budget is 20 million IDR, which is roughly 1,200 Euros // 1,350 USD. The budget is for the tower price only.
The goal of this PC is a mix of gaming and photo/video editing. I am a Youtuber and I want to build myself a home PC that can allow me to do some work outside of the office as well as some moderate gaming.
Currently looking to play Baldur's Gate III so I am hoping it can hold up on 1440p relatively well and I will be playing similar games like that in the future.
More importantly, I will be using a dual monitor setup and I am the type to have dozens and dozens of windows and tabs open, it MUST be able to run multiple Adobe software open simultaneously, and I hope the PC can do some rendering as I will sometimes render 1080p videos from home.

My current thoughts:
- RAM: I know nothing when it comes to DDR5, any things I need to watch out for?
- RAM: I may be adding an extra 32Gb and I'm unsure how stable it will be to run 4 sticks.
- Storage: I will add more as needed, and I have a few HDDs lying around for data storage.
- GPU: I know Nvidia's offering tend to be better for the Adobe suite, but to what extent? Should I consider AMD cards?
- GPU: Would it be worth running a 3070Ti instead given it theoretically performs better in games? Or would the new architecture provide better for work?
Any recommendations are appreciated.
