The pc I'm making is mainly for gaming and blender with a budget of around £600 not including os or any peripherals.
I'm of the understanding that you could build an amd build that gives you more for your money in gaming for this sort of budget. As your spending more on the GPU than cpu but for blender purposes the more cores allows you to render more tiles at the same time so I want a decent cpu aswell as GPU. Furthermore, nivida cards are the only cards that work with cycles in blender.
So how well would the parts below run current games.
