First Computer Build

[J0SH]

It's going to be mostly for video games and video rendering. How's this build? I want to try stay in the £800 budget baring in mind I'll still have a monitor to purchase so it'll easily come to £1000 but is there anything I should change or re consider?

Change the Core i7 for a Core i5-2500k, you'll save about £100 there with little performance difference.

If you can, I'd reuse your current HDD until prices go down, £91 for 1TB isridiculous, I paid £35 for mine.

Where's your OS?

I'm not sure on the graphics card, someone else might want to input on that, I've been out of the loop for a couple of months now.

For the processor I was considering the i5 but then the i7 will produce faster video renders apparently

I'll try find bargains for a HDD, thanks!

I didn't add an OS cause I've got some discs lying around the house

I done a bit of research, apparently that's a very good graphics card. I'm not sure if there's any on the market better, if there is somebody let me know, I wanna max out my games so that GTA V will look epic.

they got resources and questions you can ask to a larger (and very well informed) public.

For such a small performance increase, it's not at all worth it for £100. You could easily overclock the i5-2500k to 4.5GHz+

Haha even if it saves a few minutes of my life per video rendered I'd say it's worth it

It'll save seconds, you'll only see lower times when you're rending feature length movies on a daily basis.

Okay sir, I shall save my monies, cheers.

@ Niamh I'm following newegg's PC build videos

If you plan on overclocking add an aftermarket cooler

How many monitors do you plan on getting, if you want to play on high resolution get a 2GB+ card,

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/306?vs=293 can use that to compare different gfx cards, processors, etc.

And as said above, try to salvage an old HDD and you can stick in a SSD for boot drive

Thanks, maybe I'll get the i5 after all but how do you go about overclocking? Lol
