I'm not to sure what Desktop to run the full creative cloud 2023 as there has been a number of update my poor PC is like me not all there Just joking. I've looked at the minium requirement sadly getting it up graded would be probably more than a new PC. 

I'm not looking at Apple so windows would be my first choice unfortunately I'm not a pc knowledgeable can anyone point to thr right desktop I've been to curry's but I felt they knew less than I did. Even the repairs department could know what updates I was looking for even though I had a printout of the minimum requirement. but seeing that Adobe are have updates I don't what to be back in this situation in a year or so 

if anyone can help I would be much appreciated. I do live in the UK so buying outside of the UK ie EU is difficult at the monent 

 

Many thanks for your advice

Do you know someone who can help you assemble your own computer?

For example... My US cost for what I built was $2,103

When I was buying components I wanted an RTX2060 with 6Gig to be sure of smooth
timeline playback... I had to buy a GTX1650 with 4Gig because nobody had the 2060
in stock... My 4k test didn't have any timeline 'glitches' so I didn't need the 2060

an evolved opinion on building your own.

 

from 1982 to ~1992, i bought already made computers. from ~1995 to 2015 i made my own, not so much to save money (because you only save maybe 10-20 % off the cost), but because i'm very particular about getting exactly what i want.  then i found pugetsystems.  they built my current computer exactly to my specifications.

 

and opening that shipment box was a revelation.  then i opened my computer case.  i was astounded.

I have to agree.  The cabling on my machine was well done.

premiere pro is going to have the highest specs, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html but you can also check others at that link.

 

and i'm unrelated to this company, but am a big fan.  they will work with you to personalize your computer https://www.pugetsystems.com/ however, they are in the usa. 

 

they do testing vis-a-vis adobe apps (among other companies and publish the results) so you can also note their hardware tested and buy something comparable closer to home.

again, check the specs at pugetsytems for the computer they recommend for premiere pro use.  then look for something comparable in the uk.
