Dear All.

Last time I upgraded was 2013, with an i5-4670k and 8gb ram. This machine has outgrown my needs, and is starting to struggle.

I dont play any games, but run some quite intense work apps - so needs to be handle multiple these, and office on top etc easily. Have already got a multi-monitor setup, and good keyboard and mouse, so dont need these. Just need a base unit.

Main aim is that it is ultra-stable, fast enough, but also nice and quiet, as it has to sit under my work desk .

Budget £1000-£1500

Was thinking something like this, but not sure about the best motherboard, or PSU, or RAM, or cooler....

What work apps are you using ? Most are poorly optimised to run across multiple cores :/

Intel and silent ! OCUK to build and install windows if you need £200-250

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,244.12 (includes shipping: £13.20)

Think Ryzen 3700X maybe the best for yourself unless apps really do make use of multiple cores
