1.2k System Spec Me

[fracrem30]

Im going to be using this pc mainly for video editing and gaming

No monitor, speakers and OS.

Also do not include shipping costs because the £1200 budget excludes the £70 shipping that I have to spend.
Tks!

With a decent sized ssd, good gfx card, very good case and can SLI later if need be.

^ Bump it up to an i7 2600k if you do a lot of video editing.

 

[Sycho]

Ah yeah true, good point switch it to a 2600K.

 

[SheepBeast]

+1 to Sycho's spec (with the 2600k upgrade). very good choices.

i'd maybe change the case to a corsair 600t (white or black) though? not that the raven is a bad choice at all, just giving you options

 

[Bwaaa]

+1 to the Corsair 600TM, I built in it last week and it really is a fantastic case.

 

[fowler002]

save some money on the graphics card by going 6950 2gb? used that money towards the gen3 version of the suggested motherboard.

if spending £100+ on the psu may want to also look at the corsair and antech offerings also.

might want to consider this case, psu and cooler.
