Hey, I have an old dell pc that is around 5 years old and want a new pc.

I don't really know what components are compatible or what ones are good. i have done a bit of research but I still don't really understand. I'm looking for a pc for editing and gaming. I don't want it to high end just to play skyrim and a few others but not the really high end one. But the real need is for editing, my current pc takes an extremely long time to render so I want something that wont take as long so i would like at least 8gb ram. A monitor and Windows 7 also needs to be included in the price
I already have a keyboard and mouse

Thanks :)

And i forgot to include the OS: :facepalm:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM
+ £72.08
:D

And this is the Total (with the OS ;) )(inc VAT)

£754.73

What do you guys think?

Plus anyone know where to get some of this cheaper :D

Thanks in advance :smashin:
 
One thing stands out to me is that the graphics card is weak considering how much it costs - you can get a 6850 or even a 6870 for a little more money and they are much more powerful cards, also the i5 2400 is omly £2 or so more expensive
 
What if the monitor wasnt in the budget, What Graphics card and CPU could i get ?
