First Gaming PC

[Ethn]

Hello, So I've never really had my own PC that I game on, I play lots of CSGO but I want to get into games like Rust. I also plan to start video edditing. I have about £500-750 to spend on my PC. I want room for upgrades so possibly a Z97 Chipset would be the best? Not sure if I could get a build with DDR4 Memory in that though as that would sort me for the new year or so.

Whats your budget? You dont need DDR4 on a gaming pc, 1600mhz DDR3 is all you need.

I want to start getting into video editing and what not, I want fast render times. Budget it £500-750 like I said

Something like this perhaps, bit of money left over, you could put a nice MX100 250gb SSD in there, or perhaps get a better GPU if you needed to

Do you intend to overclock?

 

EDIT-- Look at ShadowCaptain's post.

I'm pretty sure it would still cost less. You see that case I selected in the build I linked? The price of that in England equals to about $100 CAD. I could get that same case on Newegg.ca for like $60 CAD. It's ridiculous man. 

 

Edit: Why aren't you a fan of AMD? It's all about what's best for the build, no bias.

The only Nvidia GPU worth going for is the 970 and above, you would be looking at about £820-850 if you added that to my build

The EVGA NEX isn't a very good psu. This XFX XTR is better.

You would need a cooler if you plan on overclocking the cpu. I would also swap the Hard drive for a WB Blue. The Black drives are a bit overpriced.

Have a look at the S340 if you want one cheaper.

Sure but with a case and monitor thats way over your budget hence why I chose the locked i5 and cheaper GPU

[Guest]

If you don't plan to SLI then here is a cheaper board. You can still get a decent overclock with an aftermarket cooler.
