Approximate Purchase Date: about a week or so.
Budget Range: hoping not to exceed $1500 (by too much).
System Usage from Most to Least Important: video editing, photo editing, gaming, DAW
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: this is a new beginning.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whatever is trustworthy and has decent prices!
Location: Boulder, CO, USA
Parts Preferences: Performance and futureproof-ness are my main concerns.
Overclocking: Maybe (Probably).
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 3840 × 2160 (UHD) **I believe this is correct, but I know for certain it is NOT a higher res. e.g. full 4k. I can check tomorrow when I'm home again and let you know for sure.
Additional Comments: I am not sure if this is realistic for the price point I am aiming for, but I want a system that will handle editing much better/faster than the macbook I currently use. As far as the footage I work with, most is 1080p resolution, but it is important to me to be able to work with 4k resolutions as well. I mostly use Premiere, Lightroom, and Photoshop. I plan to learn stuff in as many of the Adobe CC apps as I can, if that changes anything GPU-wise. As far as the gaming goes, I hope move my exploits from my PS4 to this new system as much as I can. I would like to be able to play smaller games like Rocket League or Gang Beasts up to big-name titles like Battlefield or Overwatch. (Open to game suggestions, too, since I know I've been missing out while on console!)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: It's time to grow up a little.
I appreciate any help you all can give me and apologies for the over-/under-explanations throughout my post!
