My parents are loaning me 1,000 dollars to match my 1,000 dollars I currently have. I have hypothesized this setup in order to meet my gaming needs (Including those envious skyrim mods) with dual monitors in the future (Perhaps a larger resolution that 1080p). I also make Youtube videos, so I need the ease of transferring 40GB files, rendering videos, and reliability to be there. On top of all of that, I am a photographer who needs storage space and plenty of memory to have several instances of photoshop, RAW editors, and converters open quickly. Photography needs plenty of speed when copying thousands of files that sum up to several dozen gigabytes of data.
The SSD is for the OS and games I like enough.
This is a revised build. It was suggested to go with more memory and Haswell lithography, so that's what I did and I saved
230$
What Changed:
ASRock X79 Extreme4 ATX LGA2011 Motherboard
Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor
Please comment on what I may need to change (Including price trimming)! All help is appreciated if presented nicely
