Hi, doing a first build for a game design system and I'd love some feedback.
I'll primarily be using the system to build games with Unity 3d, Photoshop, Blender 3d, and Visual Studio. I'm be using Blender for modeling, not rendering. Also doing some occasional video editing with Premiere and After Effects.
Not going to be playing many AAA games.
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: I'd like to stay around $1000 for the hardware. Obviously I'm going over that with the Monitors and the OS.
Overclocking: Maybe.
Thanks.
