Idk what to build

[jappypack]

This is my first PC Build. The problem is, I have had many ideas for it, and now I can't make up my mind.

My budget is £800.

I'm a casual gamer, and I play less graphically intensive games at 1080p. 

Basic Software development (python)

Basic editing (occasional youtube videos)

The operating systems I will be using are Windows 10 and Arch Linux. 

Operating

This is what I want:

Game well at 1080p 

Edit well at 1080p 

Components have lights on them (red, blue or rgb)

Aio liquid cooling (I know this sounds stupid but I love the look of them)

Overclocking support

1TB Hard Drive and 240GB SSD 

The thing is that I've been switching parts for ages now. Yes, I am waiting for AMD Ryzen which may drop the budget if it is what it's anticipated to be.

just build a sandwich they always work out well

This PC will do everything you want fine:

I5-7500

GTX 1060 6GB or RX480 8GB

8GB DDR4

any 500W PSU

any case that firs the mobo

any mobo that fits the cpu (none overclocking)

1TB HDD

any 250GB ssd

I was thinking about a Pentium g4560, GTX 1050ti and 8 gigs of ram, though I suggest waiting for Ryzen.

At 800 euros you can do much better.

 

You're looking at getting something from the ryzen lineup, 8gb-16gb of ram, and a RX 470/480 or 1060 3GB/6GB.

 

For the CPU you want something with minimum 4 cores 4 threads and that should be easily attainable with a Ryzen CPU. If you are insistent on getting an AIO (which are not cost effective) spend the extra money to get a 240mm or 280mm AIO. 120mm AIO's are overpriced and can perform worse than a Hyper 212 evo.

Just buy a potato.

Makes no sense to water cool if you go unoverclockable.

Oh, my bad, I didn't read the 800$ part.

He said he wants an AIO included, so the build should be tailored towards overclocking (Ryzen) or at least a 6600k.

doesn't need a aio. And if he plans on video editing he needs something with enough gpu horsepower as well. Can't spend all the money on the cpu.

RX 480 > GTX 1060

Read my sig for an explanation of why.

I really want to overclock since Ryzen just makes that cheaper, due to the unlocked cpus and the b350 chipset.

As for the cpu cooler, I've heard good things about the Cooler Master Nepton 120XL. It's quieter, outperforms the Hyper 212 evo, and to me has a better design being an aio. I'm willing to pay the extra money for that.

WAIT FOR Ryzen

[dizmo]

I'd wait for Ryzen, but other than that part I'd try and get a 250gb SSD, 1 or 2 TB HDD, RXX 470 (or 480 sometimes they're about the same cost) and a case of your choosing. If you get one without a window you can mishmash the colors to get a cheaper build and no one will know

Oy...that's a horrible build

However, Ryzen might not perform as well as we all hope. Something to keep in mind, and tell the OP before laying out a build.

 

Also, £ is not euros.

Replace intel with Ryzen if it's good at that price point

No.

[jappypack]

I'm not sure about spending so much money on the graphics card because these are the games I'm gonna be playing, well a 1050 can handle them. I barely touch my PS4, not because it's a 'peasantstation', there are games on there which I like to play, but I just don't have much motivation to play video games at all. And next year, I highly doubt I would be playing games any more than I would this year since I have my exams.

Perhaps after that I upgrade my graphics card
