I've spent some time researching the forums and it seems that everyone's build is very specific to their needs. So I'm hoping to get some help on picking the components for my build. I've replaced things like optical drives, hard drives, graphics cards and power supplies but I'm not computer savvy enough to pick out parts that all work together properly. Here is some info about what I'm looking for.
Approximate Purchase Date: within the next month
Budget Range: $1,500 max
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, 3D Graphic Creation/Rendering (Cinema 4D), Video editing
Are you buying a monitor: No, I already own a 24" Dell Ultrasharp (1920x1200). i will eventually buy a second monitor so I want to be able to easily run two of those displays.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, I'm not a fan of Windows 8 interface.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any respectable in country (U.S.) websites with the best price.
Location: Hickory, NC
Parts Preferences: I prefer intel and Nvidia.
Overclocking: You tell me.
SLI or Crossfire: You tell me.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200, currently one but will be buying a second soon. (Separately from this build)
Additional Comments: I play BF3 and will be buying BF4 when it comes out. The biggest importance is heat dissipation. I am a 3D Artist by trade and it's not odd for me to leave a render going for 100 hours non stop. I need the computer to be rock solid and not overheat. Lost a Macbook Pro because of that.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My home/Gaming PC is a Dell XPS420 that I bought 6 years ago. Time to upgrade. I have a 12 Core Mac Pro at work. I am wanting to build a killer PC to use at home for games that I can also connect over the web to my MacPro and utilize as a render PC with Cinema 4d Render Client.
I pulled all those questions off the thread about how to ask for build help. If I missed something please feel free to ask. Thanks again so much for the help.
