Help With My Pc Build

[dawsy]

So i need help with my Pc build as my one At the moment is about to blow, It will be my first time doing a build so i will not be over clocking.

My Budget is around 700 pounds

I have a monitor and accessories and i don't need an Operating system.

I'm looking for a Pc that can Play games at a decent level and will be able to render videos i would like a case with some room as its my first time i dont think i will be good with a small space to worth with + i like the idea of a big case encase of future upgrades.

The only other thing i would like is a good wireless card for when i cannot connect by a wire.


I would like all my parts to be from amazon.co.uk and ebuyer as its convenient for me XD

Any help is much appreciated.

do you think it would be better if i went for the
http://www.dell.com/uk/p/xps-8500/fs
the highest one the £659 ?

if not whats the downfall ?

 

[djangoringo]

Not worth it, it has a really low end gfx card : NVIDIA® GeForce GT 640 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card
It's not good for gaming, specially with the recent demanding games, the 660 ti is much, but much way better than the 640 gt, you don't need the i7, the i5 will do, for gaming, you need is a better card, also you get a quality psu, a quality case, a ssd plus hdd.

To save money first of i wouldnt have to buy the SSD straight away thats always somthing i could add later on ?

 

[djangoringo]

Well the ssd is for the os, either get it now or just ditch it, to take proper advantage of it, i recommend installing the os in it and make it the main drive, that means, if you want to add later the ssd, you have to re-install the os, if you're fine with it, then you can later add one.

 

[dawsy]

Also instead of the case you recommended if i dont get the ssd do you think this is a nice case

Too much expensive for your budget, the Corsair 200R is a quality and solid case, it will last, it has good cable management and good airflow, you can find several reviews of it, praising it.

 

[dawsy]

is this not a good case then as i would be able to get it

 

[djangoringo]

I'm not saying it's a bad case, but it's expensive, if you're in a tight budget, and since you already asked to ditch the ssd, i wouldn't recommend getting a 100£ case, when the Corsair 200R for half of it, will do the job, and it's also a quality case, for gaming you'll want to spend most of it in the gpu, also in the cpu and with a quality psu like the xfx.

 

[dawsy]

Instead of that wirless adaptor you listsed , will this mother board be able to have

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Link-TL-WN751ND-Mbps-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B0055TNERM/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1363357231&sr=1-6

on it and will i have enough room for everything on the motherboard and the case.

first build so sorry if i keep pestering you

For that pci adapter, it won't do, the msi board, if you really want a pci wireless card, i recommend the h77 pro 4 mvp(it will do for it) : http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-H77-MVP-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B007NOYCZ0/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1363360106&sr=1-4
