A friend wants a new PC that will run Win 7. Gigabyte mobo. upto 64GB RAM but 16Gb to start off with. Probs up to £800.

Any Ideas Please.
 
Well I got Win 10 on one PC and on each update something stops working. he has read so many bad things about win10 he don't want it. I got win7 on my self build pc from OCUK and no updates for 2 years and it's fast, no problems, and does what it says on the box. so Win10 will never goin this pc. SO, my methodology is this--It's a load of Bunkum to keep saying you should always update update update. Sorry, no hand has jumped out of my monitor to grab me and say, your win7 is going to stop working. Anyway, like me he only wants it for Photography n video. NO GAMES...lol Thanks For the Advice. Appreciated Lots. He's a bit like me--Stubborn.
 
PS--I'll tell him to look for a Gigabyte mobo that runs Ivybridge n buy the ivybridge before they dissapear or start costing the earth n mars n moon. lol
 
Many Thanks to you All for the Help & Suggestions. Duly noted this way.
He is going to hunt around. Whether he finds what he wants I don't know.
I'm finding at the moment that Rip Off Britain is alive & well with the Sky High prices. PC's are now costing more than an iMac.
So me thinks that if I ever get the sum of £1,500/£1,800 I would buy an iMac for my Photography.
In the meantime I might up my RAM to 32GB and my CPU to an i7 and up my Graphics card but no idea to which one. NVIDIA of course. I Hate AMD.
 
Just checked on internet Ivybridge i7 3770K is hard to find. Most are now second hand at £300. RIP OFF. A little less if one looks around.
I hope this i5 3570k lasts me a bit longer. Not overclocked yet.
