Need Help W/ Planning a PC

[Attiswil]

Hey all, 

I am new to these forums but not to LTT and was hoping you could aid me in deciding on a pc build for video editing and gaming. The only requirments i have are must be under 1500 AUD, preferably be built in the NZXT H440 and preferably black, red, white. To all that help me thanks and once i have purchased all parts i will make a video and a build log here. Peripherals dont have to be included unless your build cost allows for as i have some that are usable.

 

Thanks, Att

I like it i Like it alot another good base line

Fully modular psu doesn't matter all that much for me.

You won't see much difference from dual channel operation, stick with only 1 stick of ram and keep the SSD, you can always get the 2nd stick later.

Well it better to get dual kits because it better compatibility.

What about an amd based build *Hides in bomb shelter*

I just like the cleanness of a full mod not to mention i can get full custom cables

You can remove the another set of RAM. I think the cougar is good enough, i have good cable manage with my sh*ty case.

--------E Pitchfork ready!

Jk. AMD isn't the best for bang for the buck. Slower cycles per core compared to intel and overall Oven-style made products.
