i5 2500k Build - Best parts for it?
Osmo:
So I made a thread awhile back about buying a pre-built, too many people were bitching about it saying build your own. So you know what? That's exactly what I'm going to do. And I need help.
It will be a i5 2500k build, so put down links or names of items of what do you think would be the best build within that price range.
Thanks you.
Bear in mind.
-Items from the UK websites only please.
-All parts must be compatible with eachother.
-Primary use; Running full 1080p Hd videos and top end gaming. Aswell as photoshop for professional photography.
-2 years at least to last
i5 2500k build.
* £100 Motherboard = Which one?
* £50 Ram (DDR3 4GB) = Which one?
* £200 GPU - ATi preferably 6970 or 6950 = Which one? or anything better in that price range?

If you're doing a cheap build might as well get a pre build package. You can normally get deals on pre builds.....

Does that look like a cheap build to you?

I had to laugh at this. Seems like a vicious circle. Guy asks about prebuilds, and we tell him to build one himself (yes, I even remember the thread, it's not that old). He asks about building one, and you tell him to get a prebuilt?
Anyway, Osmo. Got any sites that you want to buy from where we can browse for parts? I'm willing to bet that most of us will know of only American sites (and Canadian for us Canadians).
Lupin:
What's the primary purpose of your build? Gaming? Media playback?
How long do you expect to be using this build? Do you have an upgrade path in mind?
How much a concern is heat for you? How about noise?
