Hello,
I would like to first introduce myself, My name is Ranal and I am new to the knowledge of PCs but want to know more. I am serious Gamer/Film & Image Editor. None of which are of Profession but I love it and I plan on one day making it a career choice. So I recently moved out of my Parent's home and I have only a laptop that really can't perform like I would like it to. (I picked it up one Friday night called Black Friday for my girlfriend, so of course you know its not the best for what I may need it for).
So, I've been doing a lot of research trying to learn more about Computers. Trying to figure out what's the best efficient PC, fast, long-lasting (so I can always build on it), something that can have gaming performance at its best(max/ultra settings), and something that can run programs such as Photoshop, Premier, After effect simultaneously. My Budget is $4000 Max but maybe 5000 if worth it. Now I know I have the option to build but I really don't have a clue where to begin. I don't know whats of importance of getting the right case or motherboard does it mean I will have more or less ports to install gaming cards or would it fit by size with adding a cooling system and whether how to over clock processors or cards and not have them overheat. Which means I will waste my money if something happens to the machine and I have no warranty being that I built it myself. Its not a chance I'm willing to take, so I've been searching several sites for a great custom PC.
I came across a few (Ironside, Digital Storm, Cyberpower) and I've been the most interested in the Origin PCs (Millennium). They seem to give you the best and over clock your system and the cases look pretty cool, But it does come out a little over my budget when I finish Customizing. What I'm having a hard time deciding is what I need in this custom build and what I don't so that it wont be so expensive. Also what parts I can save from getting so I can purchase from somewhere cheaper(Amazon) and install it later myself. And also whether I am making the right decision, if this computer is even needed for what I want out of a PC.
If anybody with knowledge can talk with me into buying and saving for the best performance and custom building PC I would really appreciate this help. Also, Whether it matters to buy a laptop or desktop. I know one you can take with you(portal) and one you cant but what are the other pros and cons. Thanks
