First PC Build! Any help much appreciated!

Hello! Firstly, I know that I have already started a thread on this, but since then, my budget has gone down slightly, that is why I am starting a new thread.

 

I have decided to build my first PC. The primary focus is gaming, however some light video editing would be an idea. My budget starts at £650, but could go up to £800 ish.

 

I was wondering if, in that price bracket, a R9 390X would be achievable?

 

I NEED A MONITOR as well as the computer, but not a keyboard or mouse.

 

Sincerely, Arthorian

 

 

 

Thanks for reading this! Shame that there's nothing here worthwhile for you to read... but you are still reading. Why?

You missed Black friday yo! On monday, when it's Cyber Monday, repost this. Everything will be much cheaper. For example you could get a 21" monitor from AOC for £55 here in Sweden (similar prices to UK).

dont think a 390x would fit that :/ a 390 might but im no pro pc part picker

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
