General use(internet and stuff), stunting, editing.. :ajaja:

Post by: VenomX on January 03, 2012, 10:13:31 AM: Something like this will be good enough to run the stuff you need. An i5 or i7 would beat the 2100 on video editing, but you'd be paying £200+ for a cpu like that. This i3 will handle pretty much anything you throw at it, and the 6850 can cope at 1920x1080 just fine.

God. So much effort just to help me out.. :wub:

Looks good from what I know. I'm about to use my money on a little holiday. Might buy a new PC on.. March?

Ah, where do you live by the way.. I might use your help to put it together. :P :cc_detective:

Post by: VenomX on January 04, 2012, 04:57:24 AM: Haha no worries. I'm just north of London at the moment, in Hertfordshire. But my parents live in Essex so I may be around there some time :). Also, Intel are releasing their new Ivybridge processors around March, and prices will be a bit lower then too, so hit me up nearer the time and I'll see what we can do.
