Build my PC!

[JamieBirch]

Hi all! My name is Jamie and its time for me to build my own PC! I need a lot of help tho. The main reason I'll be using the PC is for media production; film editing and more.(I was going to get a MacBook pro to use final cut so any suggestions on similar programs would be highly appreciated) However I do want to be able to play a lot of games on it. However I do not know what to get to benefit me the most. Maybe if you guys could help me out and maybe give me a list of things I should/shouldn't get? I'm looking at spenong about £500-600 in total (monitor included) please note im looking to buy a small case... Similar to this... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-161-BX

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Thanks,

Jamie!

However I think the i3 lacks the raw power to do video editing. AMD is an option due to a high number of cores but there are no good micro ATX motherboards which will fit something like an AMD 6300/8320.
Are you willing to go to full ATX?

Free shipping on both btw - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18630207
