I'm thinking of building a PC but need help

[unknown_false]

I'm thinking of building a PC for Gaming/Editing/Home use but I am new in this front and would like some advice on parts. 

I will be using Window 7 and my budget is around £700-1000 ($1024-1463)

 

If you think you could help please comment, it would be extremely helpful!

I'm not an expert on pc building so let someone else do that actual parts list but keep in mind that windows 7 will cost around $90 unless you have it already, and that you should look up benchmarks specific to the programs that you're using. I.e. don't necessarily use a cookie cutter build but customize it to your needs

Do you want W7 included in that price or not? Also, do you want and peripherals or optical drives included in the price? I can help you but I need to know the answers to the questions.

@unknown_false follow your topic.

Here is one with everything but a monitor, if you need one I can't help with that.

Looks alright but they cheap out on the motherboard, PSU, and case in most of their builds. Also that list has US pricing only.

As mentioned above, do you need to buy the OS? Also what kind of editing will you be doing and at what level (beginner, hobbyist, professional, etc.)?

An EVGA power supply is by no means cheaped out. They are some of the best power supplies out there. I also didn't like the case choice. But the z97 motherboard was good and you could always get a 300r or whatever case you like. It's a good baseline for your best performance at a given price range

Hadn't looked into this sorry. I assumed since the johnnyguru for my 750b2 was amazing that EVGA just overall made great power supplies. Thanks for posting

No problem, EVGA has some good units such as the B2 which are manufactured by Super Flower. Can't go wrong with them. Their lower end units made by Acbel/ HEC are subpar in quality.
