I am planning to build a PC with dual OS system going on, Linux Mint as my primary OS and Windows for work stuff. I was told that Gigabyte is the best build but I am also looking into ASUS as well. I am also planning to purchase Intel Core i7-4790K CPU and my budget is around ₤1,200 overall (CPU included). What would be the best build for me and what kind of drivers should I get as well?
i7-4790k can handle most of the heavy works very simply so you just need to find best pair for i7-4590k.
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB 3000MHz
Graphics : Gtx 1060 6GB
PSU : Corsair CXM Bronze 550W
HDD : Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB
can boost your performance
I’d suggest a custom build PC if you had more than thousand quids, 4790k (4th Gen, 2014 release) is decent but bit old in my opinion for that range of budget, I’d prefer to check out Ryzen 7 3700X incl. a cooler with GeForce RTX 2050 (and newer, about 300 to 400ish quids), still enough to have a decent SSD (Crucial P1 for a tera) with a sick case for 75 pound
Anyway you’re the boss, the choice is yours =)
