Reddit reviews Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200rpm SATA III Internal Hard Drive (ST3000DM001)

That is the cost of real privacy and security. The rangeproofs are large, thankfully monero has a dynamic blocksize for onchain scaling till second layer options exist. Storage is cheap https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006KCX0UE/ref=psdcmw_1254762011_t3_B005T3GRLY

How's it looking?

If it is a media PC, and he has a €300 budget, then use a 3TB or something like this. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B006KCX0UE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1396114186&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

Ok since your friend needs it mainly for editing, he's going to need a good CPU, good amount of RAM, an ok-to-decent GPU, and as much storage as he can get.

Ryzen 1700 processor - Rs. 25,100/-

Asus X370 Pro mobo - Rs. 12,900/-

GSkill Trident Z 32GB 3000 MHz RAM - Rs. 28,000/-

Asus Strix GTX 1060 6GB GPU - Rs. 25,450/-

Samsung 960 EVO 250GB m.2 SSD - Rs. 12,975/-

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200 RPM HDD - Rs. 7,950/-

Thermaltake 500W 80+ Gold PSU - Rs. 5,125/-

Corsair 100R Case - Rs. 3,300/-


Total - Rs. 1,20,800/-
This should be able to handle editing even up to 4K pretty comfortably. The X370 board is simply so your friend can put in an additional GPU for SLI later if he feels the need. I've read that even editing programs are getting increasingly GPU dependent nowadays, so that might be helpful later. If this configuration is too far past the budget, then you can get 16GB RAM at 11K and get a B350 mobo for about 8K. This particular B350 supports only Crossfire, so if you still want the option of a dual GPU setup later, you can change your GPU to a RX 580, which retails for about 24k (but is currently out of stock everywhere). The total cost then will come to around 98 99K.



EDIT: See u/ReddyPs' comment below. Stick with an Nvidia card for now.

That's the 2tb. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B006KCX0UE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465127217&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=seagate+3tb&dpPl=1&dpID=51UvGNMLj4L&ref=plSrch

I don't think it is. Check the listings of other sellers

I was planning to build a pc with a similar budget but ended up getting an older pc to upgrade from a relative.

Here's my partlist tho, it's about $800 without a monitor, keyboard and mouse, etc.

According to benchmarks on youtube this kind of build should be able to run AAA games at 1080p, maxed, 60fps+.

I listed an SSD (like a hard drive but a lot faster) that has 250GB, but you could switch it out for (or just add) this 1TB hard drive that is pretty popular: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Cache-Desktop-Drive-WD10EZEX/dp/B0088PUEPK

Alternatively you could a more expensive but better value HDD: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-3-5Inch-Internal-ST3000DM001/dp/B006KCX0UE

Feel free to ask any questions (I haven't actually built a pc yet, but I've been looking online about it for a several months now). Oh yeah, and a great place to pick your parts is pcpartpicker.com.

Edit: Oh, I also chose a mini tower mini-ATX motherboard and case, which is smaller but may be harder to work with and offers some expansion but not as much as a mid or full tower with ATX. PCpartpicker has a compatibility checker that only shows you compatible parts when picking them, so that should help if you wanted to change some parts in my list.
