Hi all,
Trying to rebuild to replace/upgrade my old PC. Will be trying to "salvage" parts from the old PC to keep costs down, including case, PSU & DVD writer.
I don't plan to overclock. PC will be mainly used for gaming. Possibly some video editing / photoshop work (hence the i7 for HT - is this really worth it?).
I hope that the PC would last a couple of years at least, so chose a GTX 770 as GFX. Is there a more ideal choice?
Here's the parts I plan to get. Some feedback on the parts would be appreciated. I'm willing to go above budget if there is really a need to.
