I do light to medium video/picture editing and I game a lot as well. My budget is around £250.

The CPU can be overclocked to Ryzen 7 1800X levels as well.

I'd be on the lookout for used 2700x/x470/2x8gb kit of DDR$ combos on eBay. Third gen Ryzen will be releasing soon so you'll get good deals on used, as well as a price drop on new 2nd gen hardware.

Wasn't considering used stuff but i'll look into it. Thanks you
