Hello!
I came here last week regarding a video/editing build and was happy enough I purchased it the next day (Order is currently day 4 of processing!!! Can't wait!!!!).
My friend came to me with a £550 budget (Strict, no room for going over) for a gaming PC with some parts he found on Amazon. I have a few questions that can hopefully be answered tonight / tomorrow before he goes ahead and purchases it.
As previously mentioned, he told me he wants a gaming rig which also serves him to record gaming footage. But I believe general gaming takes precedence here (I know he plays CS:GO, Dota and DAYZ).
He also told me he strictly wants an Nvidia graphics (For Shadowplay). He already has a 1TB mechanical drive; Operating System and Disk Drives
So:
1. Can you come up with any improvements with reasons?
2. Can you find a build suitable for PCS ( He said he didn't want to go down the route of PCS but we can convince him? Right? )
Many thanks, here we go!
