Hello guys,
First and foremost I would like to thank anyone in advance who chooses to give advice on the matter. Also before I start I have googled quite a bit but I wind up coming here often for the answers I need so I figured why not just create my own post. My spending limit for building the rig id say id like to stay at $2,000 or less just for the tower. (my limit for the monitors is separate)
I just got a new job recently thank god, so now I can afford to build the rig ive been dying to create. With this rig I expect to run the following games on high to max settings. I will indefinitely be playing Wildstar, Battlefield 4, Titanfall, Hawken, Star wars the old republic, and many other first person shooters and mmo-rpgs. Now where this starts to differ from all the other posts ive been reading...I also do an insane amount of art work on my computer and alottttt of these programs are very intensive on my hardware. (I believe my gpu/cpu and ram affect it the most). The art programs I expect to use are Adobe photoshop, Gimp, Adobe after effects, Zbrush (very intensive), fruityloops, audacity, sony vegas, and a variety of other programs I use to make either 2d art or cinematics.
Now that I have listed those programs I fully expect to run I will also be live streaming and recording my gaming which probably really bumps up the need for powerful hardware im assuming. All of this and I undoubtedly want to run with a triple monitor set up. I want a triple monitor setup because it vastly increase production speed when I work on art or cinematics and also when gaming I feel a new level of immersion into the game.
So far with what ive been able to find out is the following
Ive researched and found that a 780ti graphics card should be able to handle the majority of this, with also the ability of buying a 2nd one later in the year to run them in SLI to increase it even more. I was also advised to go with an i7 processor due to the multi tasking I expect to be doing especially streaming/recording. As far as the rest im a total noob and I have no idea what is good for what I expect to do here.
What will help me tremendously is listing components that you think will handle what I need to do. This includes everything needed to build a computer. Lastly once I do consolidate all the great advice and build a computer im going to make a crazy collaboration video of gaming and art work and in the credits list all the people who have helped me here as a thank you. Ill post the youtube link here when the time comes.
