Last response: in Systems

ok, i have £450 for the mobo, case, psu, cpu and ram. i want it to be able to handle cinema 4d, and after effects well, and render in decent time. i like nice looking things, so will get a 6750 in the near future (probably) if i feel like it :D  now. tell me what to get :) 


in order of uses: video editing, 3d rendering, surfing web, schoolwork


no xfire etc

I usually go Intel, but based on the OP's video editing use I would say a Phenom II X6 is in order since that kind of work scales with the number of processor cores.

If £450 is just for case, psu, cpu, ram, and mobo, then how about this:

Phenom II X6 1090T £154 £181
Corsair VX450 £50 £59
4GB G.Skill Ripjaw RAM £52 £61
Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 £66 £77
Coolermaster HAF912 £59 £62

Total £381 excluding VAT

Total £440 including VAT

You may want to cut back on the case and add another 4GB RAM. I do some video encoding and I've seen 7GB of my 8GB RAM get used up during encoding.

*Edit - changed prices to include VAT

pritchitt you used the excluding vat prices :D 
what should i go for if i do primarily what the title says, and a bit of fable 3, starcraft 2 etc on high settings??? (i will be overclocking)

Edited my post to include VAT :lol: 

Any CPU that has three or more cores will be good for gaming.. the video card will factor more for gaming. For encoding muscle, the more cores the better.

Since u stated primarily vid edit/render pritchett is on the right track : more cores will serve u best but since u also stated SC2, etc a GTS 450 will be fine for Full HD + Ultra no AA/AF hehe
