Hey all, I was thinking of sometime soon of buying a new prebuilt PC (I have no idea how to build one) to replace my current ~5 year old rig. Looking for some advice and suggestions on that as my knowledge is limited when it comes to a good spec/decent PC.
Old rig:
i7 CPU 950
HyperX DDR3 8GB 1866
Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3 (I think)
MSI GTX 960 2GB
Two mechanical Hard drives (1tb & 2tb)
(No idea what any of the rest of the PC is at all.)
I have a rough budget of ~£1500-1600 for the entire thing, so trying to decide between CPUs (I7-6700k & i7-5820k) and which GPU to get (GTX1070 or GTX 1080). Also want if I possible can get a disk drive that can play Blu-rays if possible... but that's on the side really.
Current 'monitor' is 1920*1080 and already have decent enough screen and mouse/keyboard so those aren't needed.(Got a 2tb spare HDD in the current PC rig that I can also recycle.)
Mainly the system would be used for gaming and digital artwork using Photoshop with a CINTIQ.
Hope that all made sense, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Any question just ask, thanks
