I've been using a laptop for 2 years now, making the decision to switch to a full pc. Since i don't have a job anymore, Being sick then getting fired for being sick is pretty lame, sooo my father offered to match what i can pay, so in total, the budget is 2000$. i play mostly LoL but i enjoy minecraft, battlefield, or really any mmo or rpg. I also use photoshop, after fx, and premier/ vegas so any computer that could do everything i need while streaming, yes livestreaming, that would be great.
Tl;Dr
2000$ budget
LoL
Streaming
Video and Imagery compositing
Thanks!
I've never built my own before, only bought/fixed. And I'd prefer to have a booting ssd and atleast 16gb ram. Other wise, be creative :)
