hey please help

[Bricey]

hi there, im not very good with pc specs... if i tell you what i need please may you make it in best way for me?

pc base only
windows 7
3 year ultimate warranty
budget £1300-£1500

for : video editing, gaming (skyrim, the elder scrolls online, everquest next, world of warcraft)

i did try to make it, im not lazy i promise... but there are just SO many graphics card etc... and you would think if you go down the list more, and the price is more.. the graphics card is better right? but nope.. the list fluctates a lot in price and they don't seem to be in order of performance :-(

so i guess focus on cpu/ram/gpu

thank you

The games you mention are CPU-based and you're doing video editing as well, so an i7 would be ideal. In terms of the graphics card, you could lower this if you wanted to, since WoW and Skyrim aren't too demanding (EQN is unlikely to be very demanding either, don't know about TESO) and the CPU matters more for them.

Instead of a platinum warranty I'd invest that money into an SSD card and an 850 or 1050w power supply incase he wants to buy another gtx 780 for SLI in the future, and go for the silver warranty. Also get at least the copper cpu cooler because the standard is bad and loud.

Edit: Sorry just read the ops post where he said he wants a 3 year warranty, forget what I said
