MaineCopper · May 7, 2015

Approximate Purchase Date: 1-3 Weeks

Budget Range: $2000 - $5000

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Most usage will be with Application Development and Photography/Video Editing with gaming thrown in here and there.

Parts Not Required: Complete new build, all parts required

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: tigerdirect.com/newegg.com/amazon.com/fryselectronics.com

Country: US

Parts Preferences: SSD HDD 1TB or greater; Only other preference I have is newer technology that will not be obsolete in a couple months.....may take 6 months to be obsolete instead

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Not sure what this is

Monitor Resolution: Prefer 4 k for photo/video editing
Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC)
