Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: This month surely
Budget Range: 1000-1500 usd or something lower
System Usage from Most to Least Important: I use my computer mostly for entertainment purposes like Games (mostly) and movies. I do use use photoshop and after effects from time to time, and sometimes do a little bit of animation using Maya software.
Are you buying a monitor: Nope
Do you need to buy OS: No
Location: I'm from the Philippines but i do have relatives from Clifton,New Jersey that can bring it here just in case we don't have it here.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No , single GPU would be fine (Since i heard a powerful single GPU is always better than SLI/CrossFired ones)
Your Monitor Resolution: I think im using a 1600x900 monitor, but i do connect it to my HDTV.
Additional Comments: This will be my first build ever and im really new to this. Im not even sure if these are compatible and if its worth the money. I would appreciate it if we can shave the price more replacing parts with similar performance ones.
Im also an IT student and probably future developer. Its something i could use as a workstation maybe while training or in the future
Also, can this max out most games available now? and how long do you think will this rig's lifespan lasts being usable until needing to upgrade? Is this future proof?
I would really appreciate the help
Thanks guys
