Our conclusion are these options . https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/QyZgyf with no operating system and will need to be built by shop or someone visiting him . or there is this option from pc specialists that has operating system and 3 year warranty and is built and delivered. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/intel-z270-pc/wXkH3HTuag/ if anyone can come up with a better build for very very similar price it would be of great help . it may even save you from being banned from the website as Rock loves to website ban !!

I have always brought the most high end graphics card over processor as for gaming the processor is not really doing much. but if rocape is into video editing or other high end video/graphics work then a better processor is great. Good luck with whatever you choose ..let us know where alll the hard earned dosh goes.... STRETCH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

A little more money. Cant say I record too much to bluray except for important stuff that I want an extra backup of that isnt on a hard drive. But comes in handy to rip things now and then. Or you do video editing and want to make your own for standalone players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

You still can go lower then that, but then you will have to look into cheap AMD components. Like asrock mainbords and so on. but with this build you dont have to upgrade the next couple or years like 4 - 5 if you only play the game's that are out now. If you wait 3 4 years new game's will need alot better specs. but in a time frame of 4 years you can save some money for upgrade's later. that is also what i do, put money away every month a little bit, in 4 - 5 years i can buy a new one or the components that are needed.

Added cost is £88 (including VAT based on the PCSPECIALIST link) but you see a 6x increase in read speed and 4x increase in write speed. I/O speed makes enormous difference in my opinion.
