Hey everyone, hope you're well.

The two PCs I've built (2013 and 2020) were both thanks to people on here helping out which I appreciated a lot.

Unfortunately Ive been out of the loop for awhile with what's been going on (issues with intel etc) So when my friend wanted help on their first ever PC build I knew where to go.

Their budget is up to £2000, and they want to start this week as they have time booked off from work. They will be using the PC for gaming, rendering videos/images and some CAD programs they use for work.

Usually I was always went with intel as the processor, however with the stuff that's been going on I assume AMD is the way to go currently?
They would like to stick to Nvidia for the graphics card.

Previously I did post a potential build but not sure what would work currently? 32GB RAM would be a plus as well as I'm assuming a 4060/4070?

Any help with a possible build would be greatly appreciated, or if any more information is required let me know.


Thank you
 
This should do. Quite a bit more potent then you were thinking I believe.

As always with any system intended for serious work, I have included an external SSD for backup.
