Hello
I've been told this is the place to post my budget and see what you lot can come up with!
I did already have a build in mind but was told you could possibly push a little extra out of my budget or even suggest better alternatives. I'm only building the tower so no peripherals needed.
Budget is about £1350 (Maybe a little more if its worth it) Also this has to include things like pre braided cables and extra fans if needed. Going for a black and blue design if you could accommodate. (You don't have to include these in you specs but just remember I need abit left over for them)
It will be used mainly for Gaming but, It will also be used for encoding and a little video editing as I've started getting into this abit recently and this is one reason why I'm upgrading as my current computer does not have the power to encode as same time as gaming and also takes ages to render things. This is where I may need an i7 but I will let you guys decide as you probably know allot more than I do.
Three things I will mention that I do want is 1) I'd like to use the HAF X as I don't think there is a better Air Cooling case out there and 2) Atleast a 120GB SSD no smaller please 3) Would like to overclock to around 4.6/4.8Ghz so a decent cooler needs to be included.
Another thing I'd like you advice on aswell please. I currently have a EVGA 480 GTX and a Corsair 750 Watt PSU, would you get another 480 and better PSU (I know there quite hard to come by but I'm sure its possible) and go SLI aswell as upgrading PSU. Or would you wait till the new 6xx cards of Nvidia are released. (Don't want ATi for my own reasons no arguments please) Main focus is for Battlefield 3 and I would like to play on the best settings If I'm spending this much on a computer and not sure if the 480 can do it alone.
Anyway I think I've included all I need to, If theres and question please feel free to ask and I look forward to what you come up with.
