Hey guys, my friend is an art student and has a 500 USD. I built my first rig about a year ago and the game has changed a little. With the recent announcement from Nvidia about the 1070 etc. I expect prices on most cards to go down.
Any who, she would mostly be playing Overwatch, League, Skyrim, and a bunch of other indie 2d platformers so I was thinking either a 950 or a 960? Although I'm open to hearing about AMD. I've never used the company myself so I have no prior knowledge.
She's an art student so she'll be doing some rendering and photoshop stuff so I was considering
between 8 and 16 gigs of RAM (especially considering how cheap it is ATM)
For the processor I was think like an i5? not really sure which gen or model. Idk. xP
case, fans, cooler (if even necessary), power (probably won't need more than 500-600?), and she would probably appreciate a DDR4 mobo for the future. She would probably also appreciate a small SSD for OS, and at least 1TB HDD for all of her art.
Thanks for the help guys! Means a lot.
