Hi All,
This will be my first build and I'd really appreciate any comments on the below spec. I'm not a gamer, but I will play the odd game. The PC will be for Lightroom, video editing, audio recording, media streaming and general use. I may try overclocking at some point but have a lot to learn.
These are my internal questions at the mo:
Do I need more than the stock coolers and fans if I'm not overclocking?
Is the power supply right or too much?
Where would you spend the remaining budget (£400)
Is the machine balanced and are the parts good choices?
Appreciate any help, it's been a lot of fun configuring this and I hope it's reasonable!
