Hey Guys, I've been thinking of upgrading from this very aged system I have (Core 2 Quad Q8300 - 4GB 800MHz - GT120), which I've been using for very light gaming, and work. I'd like to have the PC ready by February though, and I'm stuck on which platform to go with. My work-load will be light to medium gaming at a maximum of 1080p, with some video editing and game recording (I'd like to post some commentary on to YouTube in my spare time.) I would like to know, should i go Intel or AMD? I hope to go with the 7850 or 7870, and my upper limit is about £700 - £800. I don't really want to spend more than £350 on the motherboard/cpu/ram bundle, so i can ensure i get a decent case. i already have an OCZ ZS 750W power supply at hand to use, and an optical disk drive for DVD's and such.
I gladly welcome any input!
To sum up, as i realise the post is a bit tl;dr inducing:
I have an old system. I want to upgrade. Intel or AMD? £700 - £800 budget. Medium gaming, Medium Video Editing.
Parts Advice please?
