Hello everyone

I am about to place an order for desktop and an expert review of specs would be helpful. I need to validate following:
- Specs good enough for 4k video editing.
- Specs good enough for 2k gaming
- Any parts that are significantly cheaper to buy elsewhete
- Is the onboard sound card good enough for music listening and gaming? Is there another small form case that would allow soundnlaster card?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Id recommend getting a GPU somewhere else like Amazon, a bit cheaper & better quality companies , such as Asus or Gigabyte.
Stick with onboard audio for the things you have mentioned.
If you would like a suggested specification provide me with a budget and I'll see what I can do.
Do you require lots of space?

Thank you Ventaos for your quick reply.
Space as in disk disk space? At least 2TB SSD for video editing and games and 4TB HHD for storage.
Budget below £2300. Looking for small form factor as I have limited physical space.

Thank you.

These are the specs I came up with - it will leave you with about 500£ for GPU which hopefully you can stretch to 600£ & get a RTX 2080 Super.
