Building a computer...

[toofpikk]

Hey everyone. I'm new here 😛
I have recently discovered that I'm in no way satisfied with the laptop I currently have. Sure it's a tool for work, but it is an absolute waste when it comes to making animations and videos and playing games.

I have a budget of £900 quid, (1065 euros or 1412 US Dollars) and would love a very well running, Long lasting machine.
There are already some requirements.

• I need a good ram (16gb would be awesome)
• I need windows 7, not 8.
• I'd like a nvidia graphics card, however I'm unsure as to which one to purchase.
• If I could have dual screen, that would be magnificent, but if it means risking a bad machine, I won't have it. I'll just save up for it later.
• I am unsure about Icore. I know I'd like an intel processor, but again if it means risking a decent machine, I dont mind which one.
• I'll need 1tb of storage.
• I'll need a lighted keyboard.
• NO WATER COOLERS.

I have no clue about everything else.

If you guys can help me get to a point where its in the budget and is a hell of a good machine, I will love you guys forever. :wub:
I truly want a good machine.
Thanks! 😀

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

Would you mind copy-pasting and filling in the remainder of the questions here that you haven't answered?

Specifically, what vendors do you think you'll be buying from?

Agree with Essence on the questions. Specifically, I'd like to know if the above means that you already have a monitor or if you'll need one (or two of course).
