Why Are You Upgrading: current pc build is over 12 years old and is starting slowing when doing basic things

Budget: total of £2000 at a push

Approximate Purchase Date: either side of christmas not sure yet

Use Case: gaming/streaming movies etc

Parts to Upgrade:
complete rebuild from scratch

Are you buying a monitor: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts? None

Parts Preferences: current build intel was looking at amd but no preference

Overclocking: No

Additional Comments: quieter the better but not essential. Look doesnt really bother me as it sits under a desk out of view. Would like it to be future proof/upgradeable in future without too much issue.

I currently have the below based on recommendations i could find. Family member said theres no point in getting less than 1000w power supply - originally i had 750w in the list.


It wont let me post properly as Im a new member so this is the best i could do:
