Just under £800 (I don't think I missed anything?)

Does anyone have any opinions/improvements that wont break the budget?

Needs to be able to game, video rendering and manage lots of editing etc...

This setup looks very good actually. And it leaves me with around £70 for keboards etc...

So the one you recomended will be almost the same gaming wise, however I wont be responisbility of messing up the build, so it will all be under warrenty! Thank you!
