Hello everyone, ive got a big problem finding and picking the right components for my new system. I have read a bit about processors and it seems that i want to go for either i5 4670k or i7 4770k. Yes i want to overclock. I will be building it within next three weeks.
Location - uk
Usage - gaming, basic editing, music, browsing the web, multitasking
Parts:
Cpu - 4670k vs 4770k
Ram - ive heard 8gb is enough for gaming but for heavier editing 16gb is better. I dont know what people mean by heavy editing.
Motherboard - asus, gigabyte, asrock with good audio which can support 32gb ram
Case - something big and handsome(not black)
Graphics card - nvidia, something with a huge kick
Others - i need everything except for monitor. Windows, wifi, keys, mouse, speakers or headphones.
Budget - up to 1500 british pounds.

Thanks.
