Hello all!
I've recently saved a bit of money and finally come to the conclusion that it's time to build a new rig.
Primarily used for gaming but may use it for streaming/editing in the future.
My budget is £1800, so I hoping to get some high end hardware in there.
My current PC's specs (Now 5~ years old):
4GB MSI Gtx 660
500GB HDD
60GB SDD
Intel Quad i5-3570k @ 3.4 GHz
8GB Dual Channel RAM
Sorry it's not very specific but I just want to use it as a comparison so you guys can tell me how much of a difference this new build will make
I've done a bit of research and come up with a parts list. I was wondering if you guys could be so kind to give me a bit of advice on it.
Ok so heres the current parts list I've come up with:
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA 3 Internal Hard Drive - https://www.scan.co.uk/products/2tb-seagate-st2000dm001-barracuda-720014-sata-3-6gb-s-7200rpm-64mb-cache-8ms-oem-ncq

So I was wondering if any of you have had any experiences with these products? Would you change anything? Could I get the same performance at a lower cost? Will everything fit together easily?
I'm not sure about the case as it doesn't seem to positive on the air flow side looking at the front. Anyone had any experiences?
Any general advice would be massively appreciated! I'm about to part with the majority of my bank account so would like to know I'm making the right choice.
Thanks again!
