Stop penny-pinching and get a real CPU m8.
i would wait for the 3950x, if it wasnt because my pc actually started randomly trying to kill itself
we need all the cores, for the core gamers

Could've bought a 9900K and been done with it already.
Could have. But should not have. The age of Intel is finally over, maybe next decade.
I just put in my order for the 3900x now.

Maybe that'll be true with the Ryzen 4000 series.
By Wahabipapangus Go To PostThe one thing I am still extremely undecided on is pc case. Nothing really does it for me.
Do you want something that looks fucking nice, but still offers good thermals and is easy to build in?

Not into the faux open test bench look then? I fuck around with that case often in PCBuildSim. If I ever get tired of ITX builds, I’d go for something like that.

By Kibner Go To PostHit me up for ergonomic peripherals and sound stuff. I promise I will try to keep it all for less than the cost of the actual PC. 😈
By HottestVapes Go To PostJust let me know your budget and what kind of target you wanna hit (1080p/60fps, 1080p/144fps, 1440p, etc.), I’ll throw a parts list together for you and go over some options with you.Well, lads
I need a solid performer not just for gaming, I intend to do some design stuff with it as well as video editing.
Gaming-wise, a solid 1080-60+ is fine, but if I can get higher without breaking the 1000 Elizabeths mark, great.
Will require a monitor/keyboard.
Budget ~ 800 Elizabeths
I stopped by Microcenter yesterday. They have 9 Acer X35s however they're not on display. 2500. Makes my PG27UQ that they now have available for 1500 look like a nice deal. It's really odd that we haven't seen the Asus version of the X35. Probably waiting it out to drop it in at 2800 or something.
Also saw the Omen X. The 65" Gsync display. It's 3999. On sale. Who's buying these? Seriously I haven't seen any reviews or even user reviews on these. Given the price is 4999 for MSRP I guess it's not entirely unexpected, but there's usually one who doesn't give af.

By Bold 2 in One Go To PostWell, ladsThe monitor part is going to be hard since you are going to want good color reproduction for design. After doing some research, I see three pretty good budget options:

LG 27GL650F-B: 1920x1080, 144 Hz, FreeSync, 27"
LG 25UM58-P: 2560x1080, 60 Hz, 25"
Dell U2518D: 2560x1440, 60 Hz, 25"
All are IPS panels with good enough input lag and response time for gaming while also having good color reproduction for media creation. The first LG monitor is the best gaming monitor of the bunch, the second one is a super widescreen, and the Dell has a higher standard widescreen resolution, so there are benefits to each.
For keyboards, I think mechanical is a necessity. I think the other lads can give you better suggestions here for a budget focused one, but as long as you stay with a reputable brand name, you should be good. Corsair, Logitech, SteelSeries, etc.
e: i suggest staying away from loud switches like mx cherry blues if you plan on using your mic or having anyone else in the same room

Also, you didn't mention it, but do you have a mouse? If you don't, do you know what kind of grip you use (i.e. full, claw, fingertip)? Also, what surface is your desk?
By Zabojnik Go To PostOr how about the Phanteks Eclipse P400A?
http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P400A.html
Oooh I like that. Will check out some videos, right now it's the corsair obsidian 750D airflow that is in my basket.
By Kibner Go To PostThe 011 Dynamic is another quality case, though runs on the more expensive side.
It's not that bad here. I am fine paying a few hundred euros for one. But I think it's a bit ugly.
For keyboard, check out G.Skill's KM360. Aluminium top plate, tenkeyless, cherry mechanical switches, 50$. Seems to be out of stock atm tho.

By Wahabipapangus Go To PostI love how those small ass keyboards look. But man, need that numpad.You do data entry on your home keyboard? ;p
e: also, if you get a keyboard that is programmable with easily shiftable layouts, you can make a block of keys a numpad via that layout toggle
By Wahabipapangus Go To PostOooh I like that. Will check out some videos, right now it's the corsair obsidian 750D airflow that is in my basketIt's a fine case, roomy as fuck. But I can't get over that front panel with them top slots. Really dates the design to circa 2014-15.

Nah. I just really dislike typing numbers with the top row, been so used to a num pad for years now. I tried when I didnt have a numpad for half a year (laptop only) and still didnt get used to it.
By Smokey Go To Postpeople buy non RGBmechanical keyboards in 2019?Hopefully. #fightback
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostWell, ladsI’ll get back to you with a part list tonight

Oh, Bold 2 In One, I'm going to offer some audio suggestions even though they will be outside of your budget. For future considerations, basically.
If you don't already have quality headphones, the Sony MDR-V6 and MDR-7506 are a great blend of price, comfort, durability, sound quality, and easy to drive.
For an external DAC/headphone amp combo, the Topping A30 is impossible to beat at its price. The difference between using this and your motherboard's output is the ability to drive bigger headphones, and less noise and distortion for all audio output. It also has a line out so you can easily pair it with some desktop speakers, if needed.
Of which, there are several. My personal favorites are Swan/HiVi. The main products to look out for here on budget options are their D1010 and D1080 series. There's various versions of each which mainly have different connectivity options (though a small few are sound quality differences). They have a full, rich sound, easy to reach knobs to adjust volume, treble, and bass. Their low-end doesn't extend as far down as needed for movies and some genres of music, but still as low or lower than other bookshelf speakers in the same price range and quality tier. To get those really boomy lows, you would need a sub-woofer.
Adding a quality sub-woofer to the above setup would be easy, but I do not know any good budget suggestions off the top of my head for that. If you are interested, just ask and I can look up some options.
e: i made several edits to the above to give additional information

For me, since you want to do video editing get AKG or Sennheiser headphones. Probably used ones if you are on a budget.
Just dont forget to test the audio mix on shitty speakers before finalising it.

By Flutter Go To PostFor me, since you want to do video editing get AKG or Sennheiser headphones. Probably used ones if you are on a budget.That's the beauty of those Sony MDR-V6 and 7506 headphones. They have been and still are used as mixing headphones since 1985. Look up the history on them. They have a relatively flat response curve (especially for the price) and a whole ton of music is or has been mixed while wearing them. They are also still popular as live monitors.
Just dont forget to test the audio mix on shitty speakers before finalising it.
e: the 7506 places a little more emphasis on highs and mids than the V6 does, though they are very similar. this is a pretty good, in-depth review of the 7506: https://www.soundguys.com/sony-mdr-7506-review-16336/
By Smokey Go To PostKibner is such a neRdWouldn’t have him any other way :3
Because I just had to satisfy my own curiosity, I think the best budget subwoofer would be the BIC America F-12. It goes low enough to cover all but the lowest spectrum of bass sounds, does it all at reasonable quality level, has the necessary adjustment controls to fit into any existing audio system, and has more than enough power for a computer.
e: this assumes it is at a similar price point overseas as it is here ($209)

By Flutter Go To Postgoddamnit Kibner. Dont make me want new headphones.There are a couple Sony mixing headphone upgrades with the MDR-7510 and MDR-7520. The latter of which seems way too expensive for what it offers, imo.
Also, looking around a bit more and the ATH-M50x are a slight upgrade in sound over the 7506 for studio listening for a pittance more. Something worth looking into, at least.
Okay, Bold. List is ready. I canny do £800 square though, not all in with the monitor and KB/M, but I can keep it under £900. Speaking of the monitor, consider what I listed as a placeholder, it's just a cheaper 27inch 60Hz IPS monitor from a brand I've heard of.
Couple things to point out, you can save £10 by going with a regular SSD, but I figured you may benefit from an NVMe drive. I also assumed you need a fair amount of mass storage so I begrudgingly added a 2TB hard drive.
On the GPU front, I went with the GTX 1060 3Gb over a RX 570 8Gb. Mainly because, from what I remember from old benchmarking videos the 1060 3Gb performs better than a 570 and they're exactly the same price currently.
You can also save some money on the case, but do you want an ultra budget case? I went with that one since it's presentable and firmly in the middle between a budget case and a decent case, while having decent airflow.
If you bump the budget up further, then you can easily swing for a better GPU or an 8 core CPU if you'll benefit more from that with video editing.

I wish AMD would also start making good gpu's again. Sick of the nvidia experience bullshit. It gives me uplay flashbacks.
@Kibner and @Vapes.
Thank you for the effort, I have a lot to chew on.
@Horse, no, I will not buy that monitor.
