Will be used for:
Windows XP / Ubuntu
Autodesk 3ds max
Autodesk Maya 2008
Pixologic Z-brush 3.1
Luxology Modo 301
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
Unreal Tournament 3
Need for Speed ProStreet
Adobe Creative Suite
...maybe Crysis...eventually
Budget: $1,000 - $1,200
Buying parts from Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Florida, USA
Brand Preference:
AMD(but intel seems to be a lot better lately?)
nVidia
Seagate
Current parts I want to reuse
dvd/cd burner
200gig seagate ATA
120gig seagate ATA
500gig seagate ATA
2 gigs of ram (not sure what type, not a problem if I have to buy new)
I suppose I could reuse the case but I'd really like something roomy and screwless
Plan to run at default speeds
IF anyone happens to have a suggestion of a pre-built computer let me know. I'd much prefer to not have to build it myself actually. I have very very very very very very very very very bad luck building computers.
I've been looking through Dell's site and it seems the bulk of their cost is due to the nice monitor that comes with all their systems. SO really it's better to buy the best parts and put them together.
Also been looking through the systems at tigerdirect and I'm just so out of touch with pc hardware it's overwhelming to try to figure out which would be the best bang-for-buck. If anyone feels like picking one out and saying why it's a good deal that would be great.
Or if you happen to know of a company in Florda, USA who you would trust to custom build a system at a decent price let me know.
