what pc should i get?

[simarp]

Okay so...

I like to do gaming, recordings, video editing, digital design and more on my current pc. The thing is, that the fps and quality can be very low, so I have decided to try to get a new one.

 

I know I'm going to get backlash for saying this, but: I want to find a pre-built PC.

 

Please dont come at me for this 

 

I came here mainly for any recommendations some people may have.

 

I'm looking for a budget gaming PC, which is at least under £500, that can do everything I stated above with no problems.

 

I want to be able to edit high quality videos without having problems, I want to play most games at 1080p, I want to be able to record without a major FPS drop which makes the game unplayable.

 

Are there any recommendations for what I could consider getting?

 

I recently had my eyes set on this gaming PC by Fierce Gaming: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Gaming-PC-Compatible-Crusader/dp/B07S42KJPR/ref=pd_di_sccai_5/260-0573745-1209439?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07S42KJPR&pd_rd_r=1f1e5b8f-1d4c-4066-8735-1c2e84325c23&pd_rd_w=gSMVH&pd_rd_wg=CbojX&pf_rd_p=08710768-875d-48b8-9dd1-e960a266ba51&pf_rd_r=D086HCJD92Z66SX40AA5&psc=1&refRID=D086HCJD92Z66SX40AA5

 

All I'm asking for is some kind of guidance to what PC would suit me the best.

 

Thanks

This is alright for the price but if you had a bigger budget, it could get better.

Why don't you want to build a PC? I'm not trying to be aggressive here, but you will get better value for money if you build it yourself?

Not sure if you want to go the water cooled route...  EK has some nice options at decent prices   https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/prebuilt-pc  I think they are only available in the US as they are built at their TX location though...

It's motherboard was made in 2012.... by Foxconn...

 

so...

 

It's an office desktop, not really supposed to be meant for playing games at high quality, which is why I want to invest some money into getting a newer and decent one.

I probably would get a better value, but I have very little experience with making PCs. I'd rather simply buy a prebuilt machine to start off with, and then maybe upgrade it along the way if possible.

I am not being aggressive here so don't get me wrong but cmooon 

It's fun 

And it's part of the experience to build a PC

Why are you recommending a custom loop PC for a £500 budget?

 

The custom loop will easily cost £500 itself.

I did miss that part...  I glanced over the post.  My bad.

You are going to have a really tough time finding a PC that can do everything you want at the level you want for that amount of money. Video editing can be very RAM and CPU intensive which is often where budget builds skimp on parts.

 

edit: That is if you truly want to do it "without having problems" like you said.

Ironically, Linus tech Tips made a short series about buying a prebuilt PC and so if you check those videos out, they give you a lot of useful information to consider. (In general though, more money will result in better computer. So if you could make the budget a little bigger, you'll wage much better.)

And they are super bad value and over priced because of the brand

Yes I agree but there is also the overpriced factor in why they are bad

Many of them also came with a 1080ti with a cooler that if I understood it right was louder than the stock cooler for the Radeon R9 290x...

Sorry for coming at you, but it is the best choice.

I think you might have better value and price to performance if you build a PC yourself.

Also try looking at the used market. You can potentially get some great bargains if you know where to look.
