Hey guys, I posted this almost 2 years ago and never got around to it. I'm starting to see the need to upgrade due to performance issues so I figured I'd drop in and see what you guys recommend...especially with cyber monday deals etc. My requirements haven't really changed much, here's the info below:
1. What YOUR PC will be used for: mostly office work with many applications opened at once. i also do some video editing which my current pc seems to be struggling a little bit with (hence the reason for this post). so it should have enough horsepower to not be bogged down when im surfing the web and editing videos while listening to music.
2. What YOUR budget is. around 1,500 but this is flexible. if it makes sense to pay more, that's fine (especially if i go the 3 monitor display route...if i can save money by paying less and not have sacrifice performance, that's cool too
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from: USA
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.: no preference
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are: perhaps i can recycle an older lian-li case similar to this one (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811112304). it has floppy disks bays...not sure if it's worth keeping..you guys tell me
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.: no plans to overclock
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?: right now im using 2560 x 1080. i'd like to setup 3 monitors (would consider 2).
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?: around xmas
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?: i'll need windows and office
any suggestions appreciated. thanks in advance!
