Hello,
I'm thinking of building my first computer. At the moment I have an old desktop with amd athlon 3500+. pretty old
I'm not looking for a high-end gaming rig.
Mostly I'm gonna be doing some basic video editing and also some basic websurfing and schoolwork. Little bit of gaming too.
From what I've learned from google so far (and some friends) - more cores are better for video editing and people reccomend Nvidia cards for video editing
At first I was thinking about amd 8350 with some kind of nvidia graphics card, but then my rig added up to about 750 euros (I live in europe).
first ideas were something like this:
AMD fx 8350
GIGA-BYTE MB AMD 990X/SB950 SAM3+ATX/GA-990XA-UD3
1 TB HDD 7200
8 GB RAM
Nvidia graphics gard (GTX 650 or 550)
about 600W PSU
Cooler Master K(night) 350, Midl tower
I'm on a budget - as low as possible (would be happy under 500€).
Although I could afford it, I was thinking about the fact that I'm not a professional and therefore I would not be using all of my computers resources and it would be a waste of money.
So, here I am asking from more experienced computer builders than me, what kind of rig should I get?
Again: I don't need (at least I think so) a high-end rig. I can always upgrade it in the future.
Thanks in advance
