So it looks like my PC is on it's way out after many years of pumping out tunes and videos. I've stripped it down so many times, swapped parts in and out and reconfigured the cooling but it just keeps crapping out when streaming or rendering. Hell it blue screened when just playing a swf the other day.

I need to find a PC builder that lets me configure quite a lot. My normal first stop is PC Specialist but they're a bit to rich for my blood these days. I've also looked at Scan.co.uk and they seem ok but if any of you guys know somewhere good in the UK please let me know. 

I need something quiet and with a lot of grunt but for sensible money.

Scan have always been a good port of call for me. Good selection, well priced. Here's a thought... you should try auctioning off the old 'puter with a certificate listing off all the various animations that were produced using it. There'll be some collector out there willing to pay daft money for it, I'm sure. Maybe delete the browser history first though.

No one must know about my Cake Fart obsession... I've said too much.

Ryzen is the AMD gfx card yes? Not sure that plays well with after effects.

I'm deeply sorry to hear that and hope you can save everything and get what you need.

Oh all the data is fine. It's a slow death for the pc and I'm hoping to salvage a lot of parts too.

I use these guys - <a href="https://www.cclonline.com/pc/custom-pcs/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.cclonline.com/pc/custom-pcs/</a> They're a decently priced PC parts webshop as well as a sort of "outlet" type retail, and they've always been very good to me on tech issues (returns and whatnot). They have actual builders and tech folk on-site who'll do while-you-watch-and-comment diagnostics, if you're in there in person. Make sure you get yourself a build with an NVMe boot drive, they're staggeringly faster than the usual cable-connected SSDs and only cost a bit more.
