Hi,
It has been a while since I built a new PC (mine i7 has done v well over the years). I generally use it for general use and video and photo editing with only occasional gaming and don't need to run a game in full detail everything etc. I used to read CustomPC magazine before it stopped, hence not sure where to go for recommendations etc these days as that is no more.
I like Gigabyte motherboards and always have. I also like good quality PSUs and a lot of RAM. I like what I see now with AMD CPU's and would like the best bang for the buck but also to be fairly energy efficient. Storage I will add, but at least one fast solid state drive (my crucial has done well). Gfx card wise I see some mega prices and do not require something completely overkill, just something with a fairly large amount of RAM onboard and not to silly!
Ta in advance for your recommendations!
Best, Paul
