Greetings, I'm new here with low to moderate technical knowledge, but it's usually just the basics. I'm coming across a roadblock at the moment, and could use some help.
I'm trying to get specs to build a sort of 'hybrid' machine, one for personal use and animation projects. I'm a student at the Art Institute, and I'm working not only on school related projects, but also personal projects. In that down time, I'll wanna play games like Skyrim, Fallout, maybe get back into World of Warcraft. I'm also trying to get into the Elder Scrolls MMO as well.
I'd like to get a three tiered price range. Basically a High/Mid/Low end pricing, something that respectively runs Perfectly/Moderately/Minimum Reqs for what I need.
I would like to have two separate HDDs, one for Personal another for School/Personal Projects, that's for sure. Other than that, I'd like to keep as close to the high end tech curve as possible (last I was told, technology becomes obsolete after 2 years), so something that's gonna last a while. I'm comfortable with Windows 7, but 8 makes me wary. Something for Dual Display would be nice, but not required. Something that will not need overclocking (Personally I've heard too many horror stories on overclocking, and I'm not looking to killing the life of my processor), good cooling, plenty of space, 3.0 USB, etc.
Thanks for your time, and if you need any more info out of me, I'll respond ASAP. Thank you again!
