I'm on about a $900 or so budget for a semi-decent gaming PC, but it'll mainly be used for video editing. I found this: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Looks really good and has fantastic reviews, but I'm not an expert when it comes to PC building. By looking at it, I think it needs a better PSU?

Horribly unbalanced with the graphics performance. With that budget you could make not just a decent, but a pretty damn good build if you did it yourself.

If you're willing to change a PSU already, then might aswell jump in to doing the whole lot :neo:

Thanks, I looked up some reviews of the GT630 and it seemed to run games pretty well with an i7. As I said, video editing is my main priority. I've tried building something similar but it always comes out over $1000 on PCpartpicker.

Thanks, that looks quite good. I'll consider it, and I'll probably be using Windows 7 by the reviews 8 is getting.

This PC is good enough. I'd upgrade the GPU at some point though. The PSU is fine. For $900 you could build a much better computer though.

Thanks guys.

Might go for that one Buxtyy!

Would I need to buy a heatsink and fans or are they included?

Stock heatsink/fan will be included but you'd need to chose additional case fans if you wanted them. Check out the case makers page on that case to see whats included with it as standard.

Alright, thanks for the help!

Think I'll be going with that one then.
