£800 Build for a client

Ok so I have somebody asking me to build a PC for them (I did one for them last year and they need another)

They have a budget of £800 so I am going to have to stick to it as its not my money

 

The rig is mainly to be used for Gaming, but also for programs like cubase

I was going to go with a i5 4690k but the price ended too high so I have gone for an 8350 build 

 

Any other ideas? The Red and black theme and AIO watercooler are a request from the client, I dont like the case but he wants a windowed case that fits with the black and red theme so this was all i could think of, also 250gb SSD minimum

 

 

UK prices please :3 the client has peripherals/monitor but needs an OS (not buying from G2A)

That's a nice build but he wants a windowed case and an AIO cooler, I have tried to convince him otherwise but at this point I am beyond arguing

 

Also needs to have a minimum of 250gb SSD

 

Yeah picky people :(

tell him hes better off being a console player if he wants flashy lights

 

 

and a serious note why not mod the case and shove the evo in the system and tell him to deal with it?

This is so much more better bang for your buck as opposed to going an R9 280X, however it is slightly overbudget. The PSU leaves no headroom for going CF though and to get (almost) below budget you could even go to MSI Z97 PC MATE.

 

He wants both an AIO and a decent windowed case? Jeesh I get the feeling this guy does not know what he is talking about or what he is demanding. His budget of £800 is a bit too tight unless he is willing to sacrifice a decent lump of performance.

HAHA (wait consoles don't have lights) I was sat with him on the phone for an hour last night and he kept trying to remove things to fit these things in so I told him I would find him the best build that incorporated them

@SAV1OUR 

I agree chaps and thanks for the idea, I will have to run some of the builds by him because he was very specific on how he wanted the aesthetics, which is annoying considering he only has £800

 

I will either try and convince him to go with a more compromising build to get a higher specifications or ask him if he can get another £100 on there if he wants the fancy bells and whistles

 

Getting both is proving tricky

This is the money I would suggest him to spend if he wants his AIO and windows (Black/blue color scheme). If he wants black/red he needs to spend a bit more.

 

Edit: Hang on, I can make black/red for about the same price, give me a moment. Also ignore the 212 in this build xD

@Archangel1994 I just realised none of your builds includes the OS which makes things a little more difficult as that's £80 more to the costs

 

 

I will report back in a bit and see what he says, I am seeing him tonight to talk him through the ideas

archangel builds are nice

 

 

if your client still need the OS within the 800 quid build

 

he will only have the 280X

 

otherwise it will be 290

His budget is not big enough to get what he wants really without sacrificing a big lump of performance. Basically I present 3 builds. The first for if he can finally ditch the idea of AIO needed and windowed case. The lower your budget is, the less you should look at looks and more at practicality and performance.

The second build conforms to his £800 budget if he cannot stretch it but he takes a big performance hit by doing so:

The third has his oh so beloved AIO and windows but then he takes another performance hit (unless he stretches his budget a bit):

-snip- didn't see it was ASUS. Also my memory is cheaper and a lot better. My graphics card is stronger (R9 280X).

 

Still though I recommend going Z97 since that translates very well into broadwell.
