PLEASE when you POST threads asking for input on system builds tell us...
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
I need to upgrade my PC for work. I currently use a lenovo laptop with a dock and am thinking of building a workstation with 2 or 3 monitors. Two would be for what ever I am working on and the other would have outlook open. I work in real estate and will use photoshop, indesign, illustrator, google earth, excel, and way too many tabs of chrome open. Typically most people will say to get just an off the rack PC but everytime I do that, it cannot handle what I want. I dont want this thing to ever slow down when I use it. Right now my current laptop keeps crashing while using these programs and its frustrating as heck.
Would I be better off with a XPS or Precison Dell??? Something like this https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/xps-15-laptop/spd/xps-15-9520-laptop/ctox15w11p1c4002
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$2,500.00
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
US
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.
The only brand I will never go with again is Acer for monitors
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
All new baby!
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
No
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
2K
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
In 1-3 months.
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Yes. Windows OS. Most likely 11.
11. Ramblings of a nerd
At the end of the day I want to see if the community thinks its better to get a Dell laptop with a newer i7, at least 32gb or ram, at least 1tb of storage and able to use 2 2k monitors.
The goal is to find something around $2,500 that is a computer that runs fast as hell with a bunch of tabs open and adobe products while do edits.
