Clum2k · 27 Oct 2014 at 20:07

Hi Guys you have been recommended to me as a fountain of knowledge for all Noobs to PC Building so hoping you can help me out.

I do have a basic knowledge but I always thing there is so much to this than I know, what I am after is a good gaming setup as that will be what I use it for mostly there may be a slight photo/video editing side to it in the future as well.

I would like options to upgrade pieces a few years down the line so would like a bit of future proofing. Im budgeting for about £1000 including the OS but I would like to build it myself (actually one of the things I am really looking forward to) so any advice in regards to that would also be appreciated.

A full payment of Thanks in advance guys!
