Approximate Purchase Date: This Month
Budget Range: £1000 - £1500 (at a stretch)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming & Editing equally important
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (2 monitors)
Parts to Upgrade: New build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: cheapest's best
Location: United Kingdom, England
Parts Preferences: I'm thinking Intel Haswel?
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No (prefer one better card)
Your Monitor Resolution: dual 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I plan on doing equal parts gaming and video editing / rendering on the PC. I don't want it at all blingy... more brushed steel kinda 'idea' and no side window.
I also am including in the budget: Mouse, Keyboard (preferably mechanical), Monitors, Windows 7
Monitors I'd like to be ISP as colour is important... not so fussed about being 120hz or 144hz... and them looking nice is important to me in the setting the PC will be in.
Current parts list:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/zBNTcf
Processor: i7-4790K £250
(I think it's gonna be worth the cost for editing)
Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard £64
(am I cheaping out? It's on the cheaper end but looks like i can still overclock if I want to)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) £60
(2x8 GB figures I can get more later, not that I'll imagine i'll need to right now)
Memory:
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive £72
To write video to, put OS and some applications on.. not much else
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" £40
Bulk of data to be put onto
Graphics Card: MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card £264.99
This is one of the bits I'm really torn between 790, it seems like R9 edges out just a little bit.
Case Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case £50
generic plain dark metal case
Monitors Dell U2414H 60Hz 23.8" Monitor £175.00 each
I feel these are the nicest compromise I'll find between looking really nice, having good colour accuracy and being okay for gaming. Unless someone can give me a reason to get a 144hz TC (TP?) Feel free to suggest / critique though, wont do me any harm
Peripherals Corsair K70 RGB UK Wired Gaming Keyboard £125 Razer DeathAdder Chroma Wired Optical Mouse £50
I don't want blue keys (or whatever they're called) as I don't want to be killing people over skype. Any suggestions here welcome.
Thanks anyone so much for even reading this far let alone if you have any ideas however obvious they might seem to you!
Again, thanks!
