Yes I am starting to think that a totally new PC may be a better option.

Thanks for that, I will not partition the 2Tb Boot Drive but just create folders as you suggest, old habit. PSU I too am thinking to get a 1200w PSU to replace my 750w. What would you suggest as a cooler for the Ryzen 9 7950X3D or similar? Currently using the Corsair H60 2018 Hydro Series...

The reason for the 2Tb Boot drive is so that I can partition the drive 1 partition for the O/S and 2 partition for Drivers, O/S related Software, Games and other things that may be needed or used by my O/S, The 4Tb Data drive will be for all Movies, Music, and Important stuff etc

Thanks, I have a similar thought process going on for an upgrade, but not sure on 5950x via 5800x3D, 4070ti looks good but if prices start dropping on GPU's I probably may go for the 4090 series, if there is a series.

This is my current PCSpecialist build from about 4/5 years ago that I collected from PCSpecialist near Huddersfield, I live in a town near them. I'm looking at upgrading some of the components to make my life a bit easier in Video Editing (Power Director 365) and Gaming (Avid Elite Dangerous...

I have contacted PCSpecialist and they are willing to change the overclocked Ryzen 5 3600X to a none overclocked Ryzen 5 3600X. But the PSU 650w RM is not listed and would not fit in my case (PCSpecialist have informed me). Thanks again for your help.

O.K my PC is now 5 days into the build stage could I now change the processor to an Intel or is it too late to change it? and which high performing unclocked CPU would you recommend? I may also drop PSU down to 650w RMs as per your suggestion I know you advised 550W but I would prefer something...

Thanks for your suggestions, the Ryzen 5 3600 is recommended by most PC builders on Youtube but with a slight increase in speed for the X version it is factory overclocked so I work on the assumption AMD know what they are doing, I was thinking Intel 7 or 9 at the beginning because of my...

I won't be doing any overclocking, never have, never will. I picked the PSU purely because I prefer overkill rather than getting caught out in 2 to 3 or more years, my old system had 550w PSU and I was advised t5hat this new pc should have a 600w or 650w so to be certain I went for 750w I was...

Firstly I do quite a lot of Video editing (Family Holiday videos) these are all HD and a few in 3D, I have a Panasonic device that fits on to my Video Camera that enables 3D filming mode. I have 3 Samsung EVO 500Gb SSD Drives so should have a spare bay after they are fitted. On the Case there...
