I am the Stig
As the title says im building a new computer and need help and any advise that past computer builders can offer. Below is a list of hardware I have spent the past 4 hours compiling.
My budget is £1000 and im building the computer to play the latest(ish) games (not neccessarly at the highest resolution), internet and also for doing some photo/video editing.
My main concern is with the GPU. I understand graphics cards are becoming more and more power hungry and require a fairly decent PSU, so will the PSU I have chosen play nice with the 8800GTS?
Also which is the best brand of GPU to go for? POV? XFX? Innovision???
