Hey guys,
Been a follower of these here forums for a while (checked my purchase account, the earliest buy was from 2006!), although this is my first post I believe.
Anyway after perusing them for the past couple of months whilst I looked at other people were being specced for their systems, I came up with this one for myself, would this be acceptable for gaming (at 1920*1080) and some basic photo/video editing?
Everything I've included is what is required, and finally the budget is £800 (ex VAT, so roughly the £1000 its suggesting in the pasted links.) I've pushed it as far as I can thus far.
I did want one of the cheaper MSI motherboards however they seem to have been out of stock for a while now, and the cheaper gigabyte ud3 b3 revision board says that it will only do crossfire so wasn't sure it would be compatible with the 560Ti chosen.
Just wanted to make sure that I was on the right track in regards to what went together and getting the most out of my budget which I think I have achieved.
I don't think I've missed out anything you guys may need to aid in this.
