Hi guys,
Im Barath, Im a designer from India. I use Photoshop, illustrator and After effects...and I do gaming too!

I want to build a custom PC which is slowly upgradeable...like pc should run without the need of few components that I can update later like gpu etc

I came to know about m.2 nvme I think will be very much useful for me!

I used a P4 PC long back...and now I'm using a i3 3rd gen Dell Inspiron 15R which I got 4 years back!

So through out my life I used to play games in the lowest setting possible and I really want to give a update!

Since I'm used to Intel it would be better to use the same since I never got a prob with processor!

I did some research and decided to use the Ryzen 5 2600x but my friend said that it don't have a long life but performance is good and it produce more heat etc

Few of my other friends use the Ryzen 5 1600 but they are using it like for 5-6 months only!

This PC is going to be like an investment to me...and I don't want frequent headaches with my PC!

Im comfortable with the laptops too if it has the same power as the PC and does Video editing, Photo editing, gaming and streaming under my budget!

Suggest me a config under 850usd so that I can start the build...!

For Video editing, Photo editing, gaming and streaming!

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Just a little above your budget but is very capable as is, I went with the 2600, not the x, to keep in budget. Your friend doesn't know what he's talking about saying Ryzen doesn't have longevity as its very capable now and has the core/threads to last many years to come (6 cores 12 threads is the same as 8th gen intel i7).

Hi menlui,
Thankyou for the reply,

I have a doubt. Can I play the new high graphics games at 1080p 60FPS at ultra [full maxed out]
Radeon RX 580 8 GB ARMOR OC Video Card VS GTX 1060 6GB
Which one is more powerful and suited for Photo editing, Video editing, gaming and streaming & why?
