Hey guys,
I'm looking to begin my second custom build, with a significantly larger budget this time around. Im pursuing a degree in Computing science, and am getting into video editing and animation, so I need a beastly rig. My current desktop is rather large (Corsair 500R), and to be honest, I find it extremely cumbersome. Id like to have an actual desktop, that can sit beside my monitor, as a sort of showpiece, so im leaning towards an m-itx or m-atx build.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within a couple weeks
Budget Range: ~$2000 +/- $100, preferably shipped, though im willing to cough up more.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, programming, animation, video editing, web surfing
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ncix.com, as they are the closest and located in Canada.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Parts Preferences: Intel Cpu
Overclocking: Yes!
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, but not in a m-itx
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (this will be upgraded shortly after, likely to 1440p, or even a triple monitor solution).
Additional Comments: A nice window would be preferred, and a consistent color scheme would be nice to go along with it. I'd like this to be a showpiece!
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Size!
Thanks for the help guys! I appreciate it!
