Good afternoon,
I'm new here so please be nice,
I'm looking for some advice please on a first time build in which I'm looking to do,
A quick overview as to what I expect to get out of my machine is media playing such as downloading music and films, general day to day running of common programmes such as Microsoft office etc and in the future potential gaming at a decent level (no superb high graphics etc)
My current list is as follows
Gigabyte GA-B150-HD3P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Kingston SSDNow KC300 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
AvP VE-10B Venom Mid Tower Black USB3.0 Case
This leads me onto three questions in which I need to ask,
1. With all of the choice of graphics card I really don't know which one to choose to have for gaming for the future, I'm potentially looking at a dual monitor setup in the future so I would need this to handle this setup with ease,
2. I know there is not much of a great difference between a i5 6500 and a i5 7500 but should I bite the bullet and get the 7500?
3. The PSU, how would I determine which PSU would be best suited for my setup (GPU permitting)
If anyone could give me advice or a push in the right direction that would be great,
I appreciate any support in which I get and apologies if I have posted in the wrong section,
Regards
Paul
