Approximate Purchase Date: March 2014
Budget Range: $1,000 - $2,000 Depends on how well yall convince me
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Audio recording and mixing, photoshop, video editing (lite amount), gaming (I like max settings)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: Video card, motherboard, memory, monitors and CPU (whatever is necessary for my multi monitor gaming – see upgrade reason below)
Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com & amazon.com
Location: Seattle Washington
Parts Preferences: Intel cpu, Nvidia VGA, have only used MSI and ASUS boards in all my previous builds for motherboards (but I am open to other brands)
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Not sure – if it’s necessary, I would prefer a more expensive single card
Your Monitor Resolution: Currently run 2 24” @ 1920x1080, want something equivalent or higher
Additional Comments: I would like a quiet PC – since I record audio with my Shure SM7b right within 3 feet of it. Water cooling is what I have on mine right now along with 12 silent fans from cougar.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current rig still handles any game I throw at it @ max settings (latest game I played was the Titan Fall Beta – Ran great). What I really want to upgrade for is to have multi monitor gaming (thinking 3 monitors). I would like to do maybe a 2@24” and 1@27” I really am a n00b with monitor selection. Color accuracy is not super important, really want it to look good for gaming (if going with 3 1080P 24” monitors is the best way so be it).
Here is my current Build i made back in 2011
