Hello everyone, new to the forum.
Looking for advice on a new build.
Around 10 years ago I built this thing myself (Not from PC Spec)
Intel I5-3570k
Asus P8Z77-V Motherboard
8Gb DDR3 RAM Corsair Vengeance Low Profile
Asus Radeon HD 7850 DirectCU II Graphics Card (2GB GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0,
This thing is on its last legs I think.
I’m not a huge gamer (mainly Football Manager 2012 and Age of Empires)
I would like to try some new games in future though.
I use Photoshop quite a bit and do a little bit of video editing.
I guess I’m wondering where to start as I have been out of the loop for a while.
My budget would be between £800 - £1,000 I think.
At the moment I’m looking at these parts:
CPU – i5-12400F
RAM – 16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz
SSD – 500GB (not sure which one)
GPU – GTX 1650/60 – RTX 2060 (not sure)
Motherboard – I have no idea, very confusing choices.
PSU – Unsure on wattage
CPU Cooler – Would I require a cooler?
Case – A case with a disk drive bay would be preferable.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
