Hi everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am trying to build my first computer and wanted to check if the parts I picked out are overkill or won't fit. My biggest concern at the moment is ordering the parts only to find out that one is not compatible. I did some research beforehand, but I am inexperienced when it comes to computers. I might have picked too much power (600W) and overkilled the SSD as well.
Budget:
My current build costs around $1200 usd, would prefer not to spend much more than that.
The purpose for the computer:
-Multitasking: being able to render videos, work in photoshop, and watch netflix at the same time. My current computer freezes when I try to do that.
-Fast response: I work very fast, would prefer if my computer could keep up with my actions.
-Fast startup: My current computer takes 5 minutes to start up; maybe an ssd in the new build will solve it...?
-Casual gaming: I am not crazy about graphics and play most games on the lowest detail possible. I want to be able to not have fps drops when the computer tries to render huge hoards of people when huge fights happen in MMORPGs. Of course, if I could get better graphics and not experience fps drops, that would be nice as well.
The build I came up with (~$1200):
Thanks in advance!
