£1,000 Budget Gaming PC

[Aerixa]

My budget is around £1k+, I need OS. The system will be used for gaming and video editing.

Just the tower?
How much video editing do you do?

 

[Aerixa]

Just the tower. I do a lot video editing so a I7 would be nice even if it means going over my budget

See

Might it be worth going x79? For the sake of future upgrades and quad channel memory.

Impressive, the only small oversight (don't worry many people do it) is that the cooler doesn't fit the socket.

 

[Remote_zero]

I didn't know that.
Always learning.

This gets my vote. How does the case you listed compare to the Antec 1100?
