Hello all,
Been reading around the forums and put together a config on parts picker and was hoping to get some feedback. Thanks for any help.
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: 600-800 After Rebates; After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Informatics school work, development (Web, BI (e.g. Tableau, R)), home usage (Web, media storage)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: new build
Do you need to buy OS: no (note: do plan to dual boot Ubuntu)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: microcenter, Newegg, Amazon
Location: Cincinnati, OH USA (microcenter store close)
Parts Preferences: intel cpu
Overclocking: not immediately but wouldn't mind leaving option open
SLI or Crossfire: not necessary
Your Monitor Resolution: initially going to use old TV with 1360x768 resolution but long term will likely upgrade to dual monitors
Additional Comments: need something utilitarian, but with some lasting power. I'm not one to upgrade often so I would like a build that will set me up for a few years and have some capacity for upgrades as required
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: my laptop died and doing school work and development on an old netbook is about as painful as it gets
