Help me pick my CPU
You're looking to assemble your own PC and decide which CPU to buy. The tasks you'll be handling—gaming, photo editing, video editing, and everyday browsing—mean you need a balanced setup. Intel is popular for gaming, while AMD excels in video rendering. Since you're planning around 60% editing and 40% gaming, AMD might offer better performance for your workload. With a budget of about £1000, you can find a good mid-range option that fits both needs. Consider checking reviews and benchmarks to narrow it down.
For serious work, Threadripper is likely the best choice. If you need something lighter for daily tasks, a Ryzen 7 works well. For occasional editing or gaming, pick what feels right and keep in mind your budget. Let me know how much you're planning to spend.
