Ideal build for me?

[lloydehhh]

Ok, some details. I game a lot, (Crysis, Call of Duty, BFBC2, L4D etc) I'm into video editing in Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas, I use Photoshop quite a lot, and i'm an EXTREME multi-tasker (A Game, A LOT of Chrome tabs, Video editing software, Coursework, Skype and MSN, and Photoshop all at the same time). I would like you to recommend a system for me, and it needs to be "future proof", to last me until the end of school (Year 9/ Age 14 now).
Thanks all

well to start off, what's your budget like?

 

[LinearHD]

Your needs are identical to mine, and the cheapest rig to satisfy those requirements is about £1,000. As asked above, whats your budget?

 

[lloydehhh]

Knew there was something I forgot ^^
My budget is £1350
I also do 3D work in cinema 4D and 3ds Max

Hmmm, that is tempting.

 

[Teaz]

The 8gb ram will cover all your needs along with the cpu while the graphics card will handle the rest The SSD will boot the rig and load programs or applications up with bolt speeds with ease and a fast 1TB drive for storage. This is something to go for, plus it will be offering you virtual candies

 

[Teaz]

The overclocked system wouldn't benefit him for gaming nor for his work needs. the config i recommended for him was already more than adequate.

 

[Fear]

Yes Teaz with a winning spec again thats what i would go with anyway.
