New PC

[Voltage]

Well, its about time I got a new computer, as the one I have now is just not good enough and is getting worse.

I have a budget of £500-£600, and only need to put together the tower itself.

I need some ideas on what parts I should buy, so throw anything you guys have in a post that could be a part of my new computer.

Yeah, I already had the keyboard, mouse and monitor luckily. So that saved me a ton of money.

why the *dance* would you need 16GB of RAM, you are never going to EVER use even half of that.

You do need it when video editing and rendering Large videos idk if Jordan does that but yah don't question a man about his ram GEEZUS!

Someone sounds like they're upset at their tiny little RAM and jealous of my huge, manly RAM.

Wasn't a comeback, was just musing.

I'm reluctant to get Win8 though, last I heard was that legions doesn't support Win8. Can someone confirm this?

You''re gonna want to upgrade to W7 and the graphics card is pretty subpar.

CPU isn't the greatest, you'll never be able to OC it, the PSU is kind of small, not much room if you want to upgrade your rig and graphics card isn't very good.

Had to lower the level of everything. Budget's kinda gone down by a bit, it has to be under £500. Anything in mind that's good for that price?

I can toss one together for you, if you're interested, you'll have to build it yourself though (easypeasy, just watch a youtube videya)
