18,565
Budget (including currency): £1700 (+/- 100)
Country: United Kingdom
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CAD (Solidworks), 3DS Max, ANSYS, DCS, ArmA 3, Video Editing (Vegas and Adobe Premiere).
Other details:

As a background, I am upgrading from the below rig:

Operating System: Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
CPU: Intel i7 4790k @ 4.00 GHz
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS10X Optima
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3
RAM: 24GB Corsair Vengeance (2133MHz)
GPU: Asus GTX 1060 STRIX
Storage (Primary): Crucial 275GB M.2 MX300 Solid State Drive
Storage (Secondary): 1TB Seagate Barracuda (ST1000DM003)
Optical/DVD Drive: Yes
Wifi Card: Realtek 8812AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC

I am looking to upgrade now, I have two builds down below from PC Part Picker. I'm wanting to upgrade as I got this rig in 2014/2015 and I'm starting to feel its age in newer titles. I'm using 1080p monitors, but I am looking to upgrade to 1440p or even 4K in the future. To add a little, I've always been favourable over Intel due to the reliability of single-core performance and general reliability (MOBO issues with AMD), but now, I don't think there is any logical reason not to go AMD at this moment in time.

AMD: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7vrZxc
A few things to note about this one. Firstly, that CPU will be changed to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X in November. Likewise, the GPU may change to a RTX 3060, or would that be a bottleneck? I'm also worried about the MOBO, will that be fine, or is there a better one for a marginal price increase?

Intel: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/67Vj4d
I think I'd be stupid to go blue now given the release today. But, I made this prior to the AMD one above.

Any suggestions or comments, let me know.

Thanks,

Jet.
 
Ngl that's still a great computer. But honestly don't care about bottlenecks just get what's best at the time and upgrade whatever's bottlenecking your system when it's worth it. Cause you're gonna upgrade your cpu in the future anyways, might as well have a gpu that can support that upgrade.

if u go for amd setup buy dark rock pro 4, and find some better pc case with good air flow. do u really need cd-rom?if yes u cane use external...cd and hdd mount on front block fresh air to come inside case
 
What would you suggest I use then?

The 450 is fine if you need an optical bay, has good airflow.

Re 10700k?

Good 280 or 360mm aio in reality is what you need, it's a nightmare of a cpu to keep cool, air coolers just won't cut it, you need that heat out of the case as fast as is humanely possible.

If you're keeping the optical bay then you're limited to a 280mm aio max.

In which case I'd plump for the liquid freezer 2

Which will just about manage.
