Full Tower PC build advice

wizard · 3 Nov 2018 at 20:22

Need to build a new PC (Full tower), mainly for Video editing nd general home use. Current PC is about 7 years ols with some recent upgrades. Not into Games so do not need a game spec. Also, to keep it simple, do not want to go water cooling route. Budget around £1,500

Current system is :

Cosmos 1000 full towe
i5-3570K Processor
16gb DDR3 ram
8tb HDDs
256gb SSD

Interesting... I only have usb 2 ports on top of the current case. USB 3 ports are at the back and are a logical issue with the tower on the floor.

Much easier to work with and good cable management. Have used midi and mini cases before but preference is a full tower. I have the space and do not mind a few bucks extra on it.

think OCUK have been offering , upgrade packages with v1 version but doesn't include the USB C connector though

I think I saw that but need USB C really.
