Approximate Purchase Date: I plan on purchasing parts over the next 2-3 weeks (depending on when the boss releases funds...boss meaning my wife)
Budget Range: My price range is between 1500 and 2000 for a completed machine, depending on extras (explained at end)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: This build will be used to process photographs using Adobe products, video editing, and streaming (Gaming rig from the PC and porting console streams through internal capture card)
Are you buying a monitor: If there is money left over, I will purchase a 4k capable monitor, but I own a decent monitor for now
Parts to Upgrade: I own a Dell 8500 XPS I can either donate to my kids (it crashes often) or I can steal parts from it to donate to new machine
Do you need to buy OS: Yes Windows 10 Pro with USB
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon (for Prime), New Egg but I will literally use any site that is reputable and offer full warranties
Location: Ellensburg, WA USA (find the middle of nowhere, and head more nowhere)
Parts Preferences: I want to build around the Ryzen 9 3900X, I do not understand how to match a motherboard and stuff to get optimal use, this will be my first build even though I understand how to do everything, and I have taken them apart and rebuilt, or changed out parts, I have never done it from scratch, so I am asking you guys for help.
Overclocking: Maybe - This makes me nervous, I have never done it, so further explanation would help me.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe - I do not understand the difference, and I am not ashamed to admit that.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Looking for some parts with RGB and a body that allows an open glass look, so I can run Red LED's and allow an over all appearance for the stream. I would like a quiet machine, that can handle plenty of large images for HDR work, video processing, and game streaming at a low competitive level. I play console so if it is better to have an internal or external capture card, I would like an opinion on that, but I will be streaming heavily to raise awareness and help prevent veteran suicide as I myself am a Disabled Veteran. I am not stuck on any part brands aside from Nvidia for the GPU and the Ryzen chip.
I appreciate all of the assistance from everyone who takes the time, you will be part of my foundational pieces in building my future stream to save veteran lives, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you, as I understand it takes time to do this, I have already spent hours looking around and feel like a lost child. I will attempt to answer questions as quickly as I can, and as honestly as I can, I am not ashamed of my ignorance, I have an IT degree, but it has been years of gathering dust due to my disabilities, times have changed LOL.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I can barely run WOW on the system that I have, most of the USB ports dont work, I have no sound, and it doesn't handle Windows 10, I am tired of crashing my computer every time I work on a photoshoot, and God Forbid if I try to edit a video.
As a side note, what GPU should I get to hold me over until I can find a 3070?
EXTRAS- I need a new gaming keyboard, and mouse. I need suggestions on a Mic and Camera as well- These can be outside of budget, but we can fit as much as we can INTO any extra part of the budget left. I will be playing COD MW, Fortnite, WOW, and other games.
