So let my explain my situation as I have read the amazing build replies for people.
I am returning my $1,200 lenovo laptop as I have noticed when Im at school or on the go I do light tasks but at home I play heavy 3D games and work on my programming ect.
So my plan is to return my laptop (Its defective anyway) and get a cheap $200 laptop for coffee shop work, And have a beast for home that I can upgrade when I need.
So I have been looking at lenovos E model workstation for entry level software creators and dells workstation as well they start at $799ish so I was wondering if building my own could get me more for less.
I will be honest I like my steam games and would love to play titan fall without getting an xbox one.
(so if I could get a graphics card to swap-out even would be cool {if that's even possible}) I would be doing beginner grunt work like java, flash games, and other application, game creation. But again would it be possible to play games on a workstations?
So Im looking for any advice would the pre-built workstation work or could you guys think of a custom machine that suites me better.
Quick requirements: Something to play the occasional game on, A pc for content creation, easily up-gradable, Price range MAX needs to be $1,000-$1,200.
Again you guys rock for even reading this post! Thanks for any advice!
