Hello all,

I've been looking at the other topics and cannot decide on how to build my PC. My budget is £500 max and i want something that i'm able to play some games on such as BF4 etc but i also want something for video editing/ streaming.

I'm looking for some guidance on what to buy if possible thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forums.
I would strongly advice you to get a bit more money.
From my personal experience, cutting corners on new pc isn't a good thing.
Also, what are we talking about?
Do you have a monitor and peripherals (keyboard/mice etc )?
Do you need OS?
Do you have some parts which can be re-used, with only few upgrades that would 'refresh' your pc?

Need more details before we can give you accurate advice.

I just want a base to build from with the £500 over time i'll improve the system. I've the monitor etc i'm just 5 years due an upgrade (i'm still running a pentium D).
I also won't need the OS.

I'm not looking for something to play Ultra graphic settings etc just something that runs on high.

Thanks for the reply !
 
If i want to add fans to the front of the case which would i buy? Also would this benefit from watercooling or not?i can go over budget just wanted something i can build on.

I'm also using the only reply from Fulax i've bought the motherboard/ shell just awaiting other parts.Is there anything i should or can buy for the rig?

A couple of fans for the front:

YOUR BASKET
2 x Enermax Cluster UCCL12 120mm Fan £9.98 (£19.96)
Total : £22.25 (includes shipping : £1.90).



Quiet and effective.

By watercooling do you mean a custom loop or an AIO (e.g. Corsair h80i)? Either way, the answer is no ;) Your case isnt suited to a custom loop (not enough radiator space), and it would in itself cost you over half as much as the entire PC. An h80i would allow you to overclock your CPU a bit further, but again: given your budget the cost isn't really justifiable.

Hi mate,

Thanks for the replies it's really appreciated. i know the budget is small but it's my first build so i'm taking baby steps :P i'll probably next build a new one.

is there anything else you would recommend?

The only other thing i'm wary about is the graphics card will that definitely fit? Again thanks for the replies fulax you're a massive help.
 
I need some help sorry if it's in wrong section.

I've assembled it all but when I turn it on I get no picture to my monitor can anyone help?
