what case and PSU would you guys recommend???

Also with regards to Overclocking, this PC is for my dad, and he only really uses it for video editing and internet and email....

He wouldnt have a clue how to overclock, (come to think of it neither would i, lol)

Thanks guys
 
H'mmmm....

Looks like i'm a bit messed up then..... If anyone has any suggestions please let me know... I dont mind cutting back on the HDD size if need be..
 
Well he aint gonna do any gaming what so ever. He only needs to do video editing.... I thought for video editing you need a powerful graphics card...

What graphics card would you suggest for video editing.

Thanks a lot Jimbo
 
I'm a bit of a noob, so just for clarification....

Does video editing not require a powerful gFX???

Thanks
 
thanks for thr help guys i'll think on the advise and make a decision this evening.

Need to take mrs to Tesco now1!!!!!

Lol...

I'll confirm me spec with you guys tonight, thanks for all the help

Pretty sure that card would be great for video editing and the psu should be fine too. ;)

What cpu cooler would be good for the above setup??? I think i'll probably get that one.

By going for the Gigabyte MB as opposed to the Cheaper Asrock one, will i notice any difference??
 
Hi Guys,

Ive decided to go with the spec that Jimbo selected... Along with the suggested cooler.. Is there anything else i need to order to complete the build??

Thanks guys...

I already have keyboard, mouse, and monitor, speakers etc... Do HDD come with a sata lead??
 
Thanks for all your help guys, But this is the computer i have ordered.
