What's the budget?

What are you using the PC for? What kind of work and software?

Any gaming? If so, what games on what monitor?

Are you aiming for a quiet system?

Budget is about £1,000.

It's mainly to be used for recording and editing audio and then general Word, Outlook, Excel etc. No gaming and ideally a quiet system but doesn't need to be silent. Key is the ability to support 3 monitors (hence the selected GPU even though it's not for gaming).

You might consider waiting a couple of weeks. AMD are releasing new CPUs that may offer even better performance than the current options on Intel or AMD sides for audio work. CPU pricing is expected to be similar to the current gen, and Intel are expected to cut prices in response, so if you can wait a couple of weeks before reviewing options, that could be the best play.
