Hello,
TL;DR
Looking for the best pre-build Computer under $1,700 that can handle Computer Animation, Gaming and VR (Prefer pre-built vs self build)
The story:
So right now I am a computer animation student running a school given MacBook Pro 2017. While it can get the job done I have noticed it has trouble with a few of my personal projects that are a little more intense than what I am currently going through in class.
I feel a lot more comfortable on a PC so would like to make the switch to a desktop that can run what I need it to run.
I'll be using a lot of Maya and Zbrush in the current term, but want to branch out to various other programs for 3D based work
Aside from that I want to build it up to enjoy my other interests which are video games and eventually VR when I get the Vive or oculus (once I figure out which one is more along my tastes.)
I did kick around the idea of getting a Dell area 51, then I remembered everything I read about it on price vs performance.
I looked around IbuyPower and a few others but the room started to spin after an hour or so of comparing products.
So that brings me here, to you fine people.
I would like to keep it under $1700 and prefer to have something with a payment plan, which I would probably have it payed off in a few months anyway. yeah building myself would be cheaper, but I would rather have something sooner than later in order to get my school work done.
A nice bonus would be something that can be upgraded at a later date so that when I need to I can swap out a parts.
Thank you in advance!
