£1,600 Spec Request

[JamesU2005]

Hi,

Looking at specing a £1,600 PC. Will be used for gaming and lots of HD video editing.

Was hoping for 12GB RAM and perhaps an i7 930.

Don't need a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers.

But need an OS and any extras such as fans etc.

This will be my first ever build, must say I'm pretty nervous but also exicited about getting started

Any help in specing will really help.

Thanks.

Looking good, PSU overkill, 750w will be fine.

The only reason I put a 1000W PSU was in case I ever went down the crossfire route.

And underkill on the cooler, at least get the D14 if not custom watercooling.

Will the H50 not cool well enough then?
