    Hi Guys,
    I am making my first ever build from scratch, €1300 budget but could stretch it to €1400 if required. I want to build a PC to do some gaming/video editing so whatever you could recommend would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.



    1. What is your budget?
    [€1300-€1400]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Gaming/Video editing (Crusader Kings II, Minecraft, Battlefield)

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [Yes]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [No]

    5. Do you need a monitor? [Yes]

    5. If yes, what size do you need. [22'/24', whichever fits the budget best.]

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card.]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes]

    8. How can you pay? [Credit Card]

    9. When are you purchasing? [Today]

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [Hope to build this myself, making it a bit of a project.]

    i7 4790K 350
    Monitor 120
    ASRock Extreme 3 Z97 motherboard 115
    Cooler 30
    1tb HDD 50
    GTX 970 350
    Nanoxia DS1 90
    8gb RAM 60
    Thermal take 630W 45
    Wireless Card 10
    Crucial MX100 256gb SSD 90
    And a 60 euro keyboard mouse bundle.
    Windows 20 from reddit

    Total is 1400, 1340 without the keyboard and mouse

    Could drop to a Nanoxia DS3 case for 60 to drop a few euro or get a better keyboard and mouse set

    Cheers DS for that, much appreciated. I went onto HWVS and ran what you selected through GH as well, do these components look ok? As in will they all function together properly? Not built/chosen all of the components before so apologies for the noob questions!
