What will it be used for?
About $1800 - $2000 excluding:
US
Brand preferences?
I've mostly used Intel and Nvidia. Currently using a 4790K and GTX 1080 for the past 10 years or so. I wouldn't mind considering AMD for CPU, but prefer Nvidia for the GPU since some of the software I use (or may use in the future) seems to favor Nvidia.
Reusing any existing parts?
Keyboard and mouse
Overclocking?
No
What resolution?
2560x1440 at ideally around 120-144Hz refresh
When do you plan to build it?
Within few months
Do you need to purchase any software?
No
Anything else?
Would be nice to have a fairly quiet machine even at load.
Here's my attempt at putting a build together.
- Amateur C++ and Web Development
- Occasional Photoshop and Blender 3D
- Casual gaming in major open-world titles (Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed, etc.). I mainly just game when something anticipated comes out and then just uninstall it once I finish the story or 100% complete progression. I'm not an obsessive gamer. I don't need to play games in RTX or need Ultra graphics at all times, but would like to enable RTX for fun just to experience it for a little while and do some fancy photography.
- Dual-boot Windows/Linux
About $1800 - $2000 excluding:
- Windows 11 Pro
- 27" 1440p color accurate monitor that will need 100% sRGB and low deltaE
- Color calibrator tool
