Hello,
First time builder here with limited technical knowledge (but that's what YouTube is for). I'd appreciate recommendations on a build for a work and gaming computer. Or the other option is to go with CJ's White Unicorn gaming build from the sticky at the top of this forum.
Approximate Purchase Date: This month, but I can wait if better hardware or cheaper prices come out next month.
Budget Range: After Rebates $1500-2000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photoshop; casual raiding in WoW; heavy internet research, with many tabs open in three different browser windows as I track down different research paths.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse and speakers not required. Currently have two monitors (24" Dell Ultrasharp and 18" eight year old clunker) and would like a recommendation to replace the 18". The price of the monitor need not be reflected in the budget as I would probably add the monitor a few months later.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference.
Country: U.S. A Micro-Center is relatively close, so I can physically go there too.
Parts Preferences: No preference.
Overclocking: Maybe, if it's relatively simple to implement.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, again if it's relatively simple to implement.
Monitor Resolution: At least 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Quiet would be nice.
Thank you.
