So I enjoy gaming, recording, video editing, and digital design on my current PC. The issue is that frame rates and picture quality are often low, so I’m planning to upgrade. I understand this might draw criticism, but I’m aiming for a pre-built system. Please don’t pressure me—I’m here mainly to get some suggestions. I’m searching for a budget gaming PC costing at least under £500 that can handle everything I mentioned without issues. I need it to support high-quality video editing, play most games at 1080p, and record without noticeable drops in FPS that would ruin the experience. Do you have any ideas on what models might fit? I recently saw a recommendation from Fierce Gaming here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Gaming-P...Z66SX40AA5

Your current computer works fine at this point, though it might improve with a larger budget.

You might prefer not to assemble a PC because making it yourself offers greater cost-effectiveness.

Uncertain about choosing the water-cooled path... EK offers appealing prebuilt PCs at reasonable costs https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/prebuilt-pc They seem limited to the US market since they're manufactured in Texas.

The motherboard was produced in 2012 by Foxconn. It appears to be designed for an office setup rather than high-performance gaming, which is why I'm considering upgrading to a more recent and capable model.

I think getting a better deal might work, though I’m new to building PCs. I’d prefer to purchase a ready-made unit first and then upgrade later if needed.

We suggest a tailored loop PC because it can be built within your £500 limit. The loop itself will be the primary expense, making it a practical choice for your budget.

You're likely to struggle in finding a PC that meets your needs without compromising performance. Video editing often demands a lot of RAM and CPU power, which can lead to budget cuts elsewhere. Make sure you're looking for something that truly supports your workflow from the start.
