Hello guys, I am a bit lost in choosing what components to buy in order to build a desktop pc.
I have a budget around 1.3k euros. I already have a 4 k monitor and this budget would only be for components including the case.
This pc is for work, usually use FI studio, video editing, play games (4k if possible) and then sporadic live streams.
What build or components can you advice me to buy?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
My absolute best advice.
1. Determine which CPU you want. Take a look around, and see what you think works best for you (CPU will either have a stock cooler you can use, or a list of approved coolers depending on the CPU chosen).
2. After determining the CPU, then go find the best motherboard for your money for that CPU itself.
3. Once you have determined CPU and motherboard, goto the motherboard manufacturer's website, under support options there should be a list of 'supported ram' for that motherboard. You need to choose from the ram on this list, or there is no guarantee it will work!
4. After you have done that, select a 1-2 tb SSD for use in your system. Do not buy an HDD, or you will be sorry.
5. Do some research, determine the best GPU for your system, and select that.
6. After you have done all that, go to this website and determine how much power supply you need.

The power supply is done last, because you don't want to buy too little power supply for your system, and buying too much is a waste of money IMHO.
As far as the case is concerned, just get something big and roomy. I got one for $110 at newegg that could fit a family of four inside. Having too much case is better than having too little and needing modify the case so it all fits.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
