what would u suggest? i know a bit about computers but this is my first time building one

a i5 2500k or 3570k is the most that you need the i7 is good for editing but the i5 is better for its price

okay. dont mean to be a pain but what about the rest of the components... MOBO RAM GPU etc..


I got a suggestion build for you, take a look:

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $114.99
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $84.99
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $229.99
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $239.99
SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $119.99
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $99.99
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $64.99

Total: $954.93 U.S. dollars or about 615 pounds. A little too much off your budget. All of these are based on U.S. websites, not sure if your country sells the same price.

The SSD is optional, but it will help load applications, games, windows faster. Also helps with video/photo editing.

Some questions I have:
-Do you already have an OS or do you need to buy that as well?
-Do you have any HDDs and optical drives you can re-use?
-If you don't have a re-useable HDD, how much storage space do you need?
-Do you want to overclock your CPU?
-Do you have other parts from older computers you think you can re-use?

Answer these questions and I'll try to cut the costs for that build a bit.

i already have a copy of win 7 64 bit. i dont have any reusable HDD or optical drives old parts. its gonna be a completely fresh build.
doesnt overclocking void the warranty?
ideally ide like 1tb which uve already suggested

that link was rlly useful because i thought that OC'n voided warranties. in that case i more than likely would OC.
wold this set up run games like BF3 and Skyrim?


According to his setup, it should run BF3 on ultra with no problem (maybe with some overclocking for the GPU). I saw someone in youtube, uses the HD 7850, with some overclocking, he can run BF3 on ultra at 50 - 60 FPS. Skyrim should be no problem at all because BF3 is more intensive than skyrim.

Bro, the skyrim, BF3, COD MW3, all smooth.. all set at MAX!.. no problem at all.. if possible, please purchase a CPU COOLER, i recommend you to use Hyper 212 EVO (cooler Master) or you may use Vortex 211P if you want to cut the cost. Remember, when clocking your CPU, it is very important to us to keep our cpu temp as lowest as possible so that it will give you the best clock in return. :)  .. you may purchase and install it when you want to overclock it.. no worry, 3570k + z77 mobo + HD7850 DCU II is very great combination.

alot of people recommend the Hyper 212 EVO so ill definitely get that cooler. thanks for all your help and answers everyone. uve been a great help and ill be gettin the system that nafoni suggested.
thanks again

Good luck! Definitely get an aftermarket CPU cooler if you're going to be doing mid or high overclocking. The Hyper 212 EVO will be excellent.

I would suggest buying the Hyper 212 EVO together with your other parts. Installing a CPU cooler after putting together the other parts of the machine can be a pain - you really want to install the CPU cooler before putting the motherboard into the case.

Yep, you should. Happy building :)
