Well they're both 1GB GDDR5 so i guess 285 would be the winner here seeing that it has better performance and that's a good point about the x2, didn't really think of that. Edit: new idea, its around 2-3 weeks till I have the money and by that point the last i7 2700k will probably be sold...

I know these are reallyyy old cards but they are really cheap at the moment and the pc i should be building soon isn't really gaming focused so they'll still be more than enough! I know 285 is more powerful but by how much? 4890 is £18 cheaper and uses less power but is nosier and slightly...

Lol, I'll probably start doing that too because I won't have all the money till around the end of April so ill keep an eye out for any good deals :) I've heard about novatech, never went to their website before but I'll make sure to check them out!

Getting everything from aria but the ram is on overclockers uk =) Defiantly going to save this in a note pad aha

In that case ill just go for a 7 series board and get an additional 4gb of ram. as it'll be cheaper than getting a better case, board and gpu :P and would it be fine to overclock the 8320 to 3850 speeds on the stock cooler? Edit: Probably just gonna get the board i originally intended to get...

Gonna be getting a fx 8350 not an apu tho edit: why is everyone recommending that i get a 9 series board? Because i really don't want to gey one if i dont need too £20 to get better board, £20 to upgrade case(t2 only supports micro-atx) and £20 to get a video card. That's a lot of money for...

The apus seem great and i would probably get one instead of an fx if editing wasn't my #1 priority aha. Do you need your gts 450 at all? After i buy the other parts and work out how much money i have left, i could probably buy it from you and pay for postage and all that ofc (Assuming you live...

Oh wow, that's a very helpful list. Thanks! Edit: Never in a million years did i think that picking a motherboard would be the most complicated and troublesome thing when picking parts for a pc lol. Everytime i pick a board it turns out its not good enough or a lot of people are having troubles...

Thanks for the advice aha and pretty sure i don't live round the corner so thats defiantly out of the question xD And yeah illl probably never go high end because its to much lol, definitely trying to make sure that i pick parts that i wont have to replace until i need to make major upgrades...

Its for video editing so ideally i need an fx chip (Preferably a 83XX because im so sick of these horrible render times i have lmao) i only need an igp because i dont want to have to buy a gpu, even if its cheap. £20 can make quite a big difference (For example, ive gone from a 760G board to a...

760G boards actually have igp too :P http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#ov i assumed that because these ones do then new boards do too but i was unfortunately wrong :(

Okay thanks for that xD And im gonna take a guess here and say that there probably isn't a 9xx board with igp :/ So im either gonna have to move to intel or stick with a 7xx board. Maybe thats what he means? because i dont have a clue lol Edit: Just googled it and i was right about 9xx series...

I thought a pc needs a graphics card/igp to boot up otherwise it will just display no signal on your monitor? maybe i was wrong lol no worries lol

Very true aha, guess ill go for a more suitable board. Only problem now is i need to get one with integrated graphics hmm :/

Ill defiantly keep that in mind thanks for the idea. Mostly going to be editing in after effects and sony vegas for now but im planning to buy a gtx 660 or one of the new cards in the same price range next year.
