Need assistance specing £1000+ system

[alexoc]

Hello Folks,

Looking to build a system with minimal 16GB ram and 250GB+ SSD running on a single 22" LG 1680x1050 monitor which will be geared towards running games and video processing concurrently. Require it to be as quiet as possible with good price:performance. No intentions of overclocking initially, unless recommended without sacrificing significant life time.

Budget: Anywhere from around £1000-1700


Here are a couple of sketchups:

can you please tell us the purpose of your built? Are u a modeler, 3d, moding, gaming, video, etc ? Just to understand your need about the 6 core cpu built.

 

If you are just a gamer, are you enthusiast level? ...?

 

Btw, I LOVE THIS pc case...

 

its the only case I ve seen that takes easy, up to 7-8 radiators!!! 2x480 , 2x380 , 4x 240 (and it costs cheap!! 220 $ about that)

 

if you get Z87 motherboard, get the b2 versions (something like that)

Purpose of the system is mainly running numerous applications video editing and recording software and games 247 simultaneously. Near two dozen games at random simultaneously(games such as D3, WoW, Minecraft and so on). Now will I need more RAM, a cpu with more cores or both or something else entirely?

Great system, that gtx780ti will serve you well, maybe even sli it when the prices go down when the new models come out eh, the perfect strategy.

then gen the 6 core :smile: R4 is a nice case for airflow, but the one I posted makes the difference.

 

You are a youtuber?
