£900 Build, thoughts needed.

[sherlockfan99]

Hello. I'm planning to build a computer in the next week and I need to know what parts I will be wanting to get. I will be recording and editing/rendering videos on games like battlefield 4 and minecraft and I will be doing a lot of casual gaming as well. I'm hoping to get at least 60 FPS on those games (if possible). I'm aiming to have a fairly quiet and fast build. I plan on upgrading some components in the future such as the ram and the case fans. I'm hoping that I could overclock my cpu to at least 4.4GHz (whilst staying cool).

My budget is £900. I do not need an optical drive and I already have a keyboard, mouse, monitor and I already have Windows 8.1 on a disk.

I've made a build, any thoughts please? Thanks.

very good AMD build
i would make some changes

better brand for GPU
better OC performance on mobo, both from Gigabyte
AMD love faster ram
better PSU, corsair RM series isnt a very good product

Ok, I've made a few adjustments to the build. Hopefully it is good

Damn, accidentally picked the solution.

Looks like a solid build. You can't go wrong with the Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 or the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard.

 

[AMD Radeon]

Damn, accidentally picked the solution.

now thats looks very good
i love the fact that you choose H440 case and xfx 650W bronze
i built one pc for a friend using that parts

 

[sherlockfan99]

So is the gigabyte mobo good for overclocking? What overclock am I expecting to get with these parts. Thanks.

I'm also typing this on my phone and it's really glitchy.

 

[AMD Radeon]

use this reference for AMD mobo
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=3

gigabyte UD3 offer 8+2 phase VRM, while asus pro has only 6+2 phase
those numbers matter for OC ability

at similar price in UK, gigabyte has better value

Thanks. I would have given the solution to all of you but I can't.
