Posted November 26, 2015 Hi all, I am planning on building a PC mainly for programs such as Photoshop, After effects and Blender etc. Also, I may use it for the odd game but small games unlike Witcher or GTA or Star Ward Battlefront. Anyway, I feel that I should get an Intel i5 4460 CPU and that's where I'm stumped. I would like parts that would work for my build without going over a budget of £400. If you could help me then that would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 26, 2015 Ok, what you could do is get that cpu and a Z97 mobo that is under a $100 (USD), perhaps a MSI PC Mate. As for GPU a 750TI should do you pretty well on smaller titles and a orsair cx PSU, WD Blue 1TB, 8GB Corsair ram and a Case with the remnants should be close to your budget. Good Luck!

Posted November 26, 2015 You're well over budget, also use the UK part picker It's a tad bit over 600 USD and the specified budget translates to 604 USD. It isn't over by a large margin after MIR.
