What PC Build would you get?
Please state the Item, Price and link please.


I'm asking this because i have 1000 pounds to spend on a new setup but i am unsure on what to get.

I edit videos, and need to play modern games at high gfx.

 

But do you know how to connect each part?
When i bought new parts for my comp I took my old ones off then realized the new ones were way diffirent lol, i changed my motherboard/gfxcard/ram/powersupply.

 

You should probably state that you edit videos, and need to play modern games at high gfx.

I wouldn't be able to help you much. D: I'd ask smartik to help.

 

I have a friend who builds them, i have a rough draft here;

 

any pc with Core i7 extreme .-. thats all you will need, even onboard graphic card og I7 can support gamez like BS/AION on Full with 60f

 

Updated the link to show the image larger

 

Why the case anyways?
If you play for many hours continuously and/or let ur comp turned on for several hours it'll overheat and u'll lag :>
I have my pc's case opened, i just have to clean it more often cuz of the dust bcoz of that.

 

The case is amazing for cooling

 

this is good

 

Those specs are perfect bro, buy it.
With my Q8400 (quad core, 2.8ghz) + GTX 460 + 4gb RAM i play aion maxed with a constant 60 fps in zergs it's 50fps. Crysis 2 / Skyrim and shit like that maxed with a constant 60 fps too.
With a i7 + GTX 560 u'll do wonders.

 

I'm just gonna do some bargain hunting once i finalise the build

 

You should add in a ssd or seagate momentus xt (hybrid drive)

 

I don't have the pennies for it considering the prices just raised due to the flood in Thailand

 

i recommend more memory on ur gfx since 1gb is low.. i know they recommend at least 1,5 for just BF3 that aint the best looking game out here..

 

i buy my stuff from tigerdirect.com also got a store nearby, this is the pc im making:
Processor: AMD FD8150FRGUBOX FX-8150 8Core, 3.60GHz, 8MB L3 & L2 Cache overclocks for 4.20 ghz and 50 deg with H50 cooling system. tho the best 1 is the h100; its kinda big so u need a big pc case.
Video cards: Radeon HD 6870 2x ( crossfire rdy) 900 core clock 2 gb memory each ( they also overclock)
Ram cards: Corsair CMX8GX3M2A2000C9 XMS3, 2000 mhz , 4 gb memory (they come in kits of 2=8gb) theres an 8 gb card but has only 1066 mhz speed.. too low
i like the ATX NZXT M59-001BK M59 Mid Tower Case 20" x 17.5" x 7.5"
Solid state drive :ADATA AS511S3-120GM-C S511 Series 2.5" - 120GB, SATA III 6Gb/s tho they still expensive to buy, any ssd with 500mb/s+ read/write speeds will make ur system fly but be warned not all suport win 7 64 bits, and they dun say it in the specs this 1 does.
Power Supply: Coolmax CUG-950B 950-Watt ATX, SATA-Ready, PCI-E Ready
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45 9 Series AM3+ ATX, Socket AM3+, AMD 970 Chipset,crossfire rdy suports 32 gb ram, dun worry u can zerg easly with those specs buahah.
