As above
I need some advice on building a pc for my son, currently I am an alienware laptop owner previously I built my own pc's to play games the last one I built was about 5-6 yrs ago and I think it was an intel i7 cpu have posted a couple of piccys of the beast


anyway onto my dilema, my son is just starting university he is studying art and media, video editing etc he also like's gaming ( wow and eve ) so I want to build him a pc that will play games to a good standard and also edit and render video in less than a week
.
the problem I have is knowing what spec parts to buy for this machine I am kind of out of touch now. he does not want a pc the same size as the beast I had he is after something more compact, but powerful and able to do the above.
any advice would be appreciated, price is an option I would like to keep the cost to say sub £600
Thanks
