Hello,
Looking to purchase my first desktop PC from PCSpecialists which will be used mainly for console streaming and video editing, looking for some advice on a good starting set up? Will also need to pick up an extra monitor.
Not looking to break the bank but would be happy somewhere in the £1000 - £1500 region
Any advice?

I can’t give advice but I’m doing the same, just finished putting all mine together.
Here’s my spec, but I can’t get it to boot as of yet, see my other thread.
Ryzen 7 3700 Processor.
MSI 570X WiFi motherboard.
32MB Corsair dominator memory.
Radeon 5700 GPU.
500gb WD nvme pcie SSD.
1 TB Samsung SSD.
2 TB WD 3.5 HDD.
Corsair 570x case.
Corsair RGB triple FAN setup , in addition to the 3 in the case.

I found PCpartpicker to be a great site when I built mine. Lots of people posting their builds and you can compare different components and builds.
Only problem being I dont have a clue when it comes to building a PC I know I'm going to need a good processor with 8 cores minimum but thats about all I know Neither did I but it's surprising how quick you can pick it up. Tom's Hardware is a good site for reviews and you soon start to work out what's important for what you want to do.
Check the specs of the software you plan to run. A lot of games don't use many cores for example, but do need high clock speeds, while many business users might want to be running multiple things simultaneously and therefore want lots of cores, but not need the high clock speeds.
Video editing is going to want to lots of memory and high speed disk access, maybe an M2 drive for your current project, and a slower larger drive for you main archive.

For video editing - cores, memory, disk I/O. Not necessarily in that order. So I'd aim for the Ryzen 3900X on an X570 motherboard with at least 32GB RAM at 3200 or higher and a CAS latency of 16 or lower (CL14 preferably). Get a couple of PCIE 4.0 M.2 NVME drives one for the OS and a scratch drive for projects. Then a slower higher capacity SSD and a high capacity HDD for completed projects.
As to GPU - have a read of https://gadgetsouq.com/best-graphics-card-for-vide... should give you some good tips.
Once you have specc'd up that lot - you then need to look at the PSU you will need to power the lot.
