Hi,
So I've graduated University (Hurray!) in Music and audio technology, getting straight to the point! I need a new build for a PC that's designed and based around heavily editing software packages. Mostly music editing software, but I also need it for some rendering. The occasional gaming, but only games like portal , left 4 dead 2 etc( nothing like crysis) So I tried to fill out below the little "How to ask for a new build".
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: April - June 2013
Budget Range: (e.g.: £1500)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Music technology, Design software , gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes ( 2 - dual screen)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes ( Thinking Win 7)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (Ebuyer.co.uk)
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Reading, United Kingdom)
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
So I'm just looking for a solid, long lasting build that's going to remain powerful and useful for my job for quite a long time. If there are any questions, then fire away! all the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks very much.
What I have so far is;
OS : Windows 7 (http://www.ebuyer.com/259863-microsoft-windows-7-home-premium-w-sp1-licence-and-media-1-gfc-02050) Will the Win 7 professional be better or..?
