Hi all!

I'm looking to build an £800 gaming (primary)/video production (secondary) system. This £800 must include everything from OS to peripherals.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand finding the best system possible in my budget. Any suggestions are welcome. Much appreciated.

 
Sure. This is my suggestion:

Thank you very much. This is an excellent build for the price. I might grab an AOC monitor alternative and grab an R9 290 or GTX 770 with the extra cash.
 
I see. Something like that would be a great choice too. Good luck!
