I am a high school student looking to buy a desktop system to suit my interests. Preferably, I would like to get a PC that I can take with me to college in a few years. I am both an art and computer science student, so I need something that could smoothly run lines of code, as well as connect to my Wacom drawing tablet to edit photography projects and digitally draw. I will also use the system to do simple things, such as streaming video, writing school reports, and some light gaming.
Due to my lack of hardware knowledge, I tend to stray away from building a system myself, and I would prefer a prebuild if possible. I do, however, have a good friend who is very experienced in doing builds, and is willing to help me if such an opportunity arises.
As for monitor compatibility, I am planning to get the Asus MX27AQ, which is a 27" IPS, with 2560x1440p display
Here are some specifications on my preferences:
- Intel Core i7 processor
- Must run 64-bit Windows 10
- Some Upgradability, because I plan on keeping this system for as long as I can
- Must be able to handle multiple monitors
(Knowing myself, it is likely that I will want a second monitor in the future)
Now here's the hard part:
Budget: $800 and below
(Willing to go up to $1000)
I acknowledge any and all suggestions, as well as different opinions on my preferences. All detailed information and personal feedback are appreciated and welcomed. Thank you for your time!
