LE : i made this.. any good? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CXP2XL

 

so..... I have a 2010 PC, built by myself. It has the best parts available at that time (in Romania) in it.

These being : XNGsq26.png

8gb of ram, asus maximus iii gene and a 750w psu 

 

so what I need the PC for..

not so much gaming.. no time, 8th grade and also.. i am a starting photographer.. i need this new pc mostly for video and photo editing.

not too expensive tho, parts in Romania are more expensive than they're in the US

 

for example : a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 G1 GAMING 4GB DDR5 256-bit is $430 in Romania, and $360 on Amazon. (this is just for reference.)

 

so.. somewhere in the neigbourhood of $850 US prices in total? or $1000.

 

I will keep this PSU, that's what I know for sure. And I might sell all these parts if everything turns out too expensive :)

welcome to the ltt forum.

well if your doing a lot of editing it depends. if you can benefit from graphics acceleration you should do it but if not i would probably opt for a skylake i7 with fast storage. maybe even a 5820k if you can fit into your budget

Desktop Build Log http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/486571-custom-wooden-case-with-lighting/#entry6529892

thinkpad l450, i5-5200u, 8gb ram, 1080p ips, 250gb samsung ssd, fingerprint reader, 72wh battery <3, mx master, motorola lapdock as secound screen

Please quote if you want me to respond and marking as solved is always appreciated.

R9 380 is the best value GPU on the market atm. I know what prices you and I have (hi neighbour) and I'd go for that.
