Beginner gaming PC

[Ralane]

Hi all

I've recently written a thread enquiring about buying a new gaming laptop. I was wondering however, if it would be a better idea to get a desktop to help with longevity and better specs.

I'm looking at spending around £600 and would like to play games such as Dota 2 and Skyrim and perhaps future releases such as Fallout 4.

As long as I can play things comfortably, high/ultra settings aren't a priority.

I'd also like to be able to edit videos with it (my partner owns a GoPro and would use their software).

Would anyone be able to suggest a build based on the above?

Many thanks

Thanks for the reply, the spec looks great for my needs.

One question, how does the AMD graphics card stack up against say the GTX960?
