Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build my first PC. I can't really work they way I want with my current computer (and the last few I bought). I need more speed.
I have been reading and researching for the past few weeks and everyone seems to think its best to build your own. So I was hoping that some of you could help me with a build or perhaps link to a build that matches my needs.
Update: Sorry, I posted before reading the forum rules. So here is the updated post
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next week or so (basically as soon as I make a decision on a build/what parts to buy.
Budget Range: Under $1000 but preferably around $700
System Usage: Browsing the web, publishing content to my blogs/sites, keeping backups of all my sites and their files, running Internet marketing related software (some of which are resource intensive), and the usual storing some pictures, watching videos here and there, etc.
Are you buying a monitor: No (unless I find a great deal).
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Doesn't matter
Location: Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
Overclocking: Not sure if I yet understand what it is and does. But if its essential or adds to the performance, then yes.
SLI or Crossfire: Not sure if I yet understand what it is and does. But if its essential or adds to the performance, then yes.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Tired of my slow computer and want to experience my first build.
Notes:
I am a blogger and an internet marketer. I build lots of sites and naturally create a lot of content (mostly text).
I need something that can handle multiple tabs and software being open and in use at the same time, fast. I do run some heavy and resource consuming internet marketing related software.
I also have lots of files that need to be stored.
I don't play games on the PC at all. So, I am assuming spending too much on a Graphic card is not necessary.
Basically I am looking for a high performance home office PC.
As for budget, from what I have read so far, it seems like I could build a good computer for my needs for around $500-600. That said, if I can get better performance, I wouldn't mind going up to even a $1000.
I hope this is enough info. If not please let me know and I would be happy to give more.
Thank you all in advance.
