Hey guys! I am a disabled veteran, and I have always wanted to build my own computer, I figure this is as good a time as any to dive in with Black Friday coming up, so I know prices could go down from estimated guesses, I will keep that in mind.
I am a photographer first and video editor second. (I am a gamer at heart though).
I get frustrated waiting on slow uploading of images in Lightroom or Photoshop, or transferring photos from SSD to HD for storage, I also need something that will take advantage of a strong internet connection (getting fiber optics) for upload speed for online storage.
List a solid purchase and maybe a “If the price drops, get this one!” idea.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Black Friday Sales
Budget Range: (e.g.: 600-1000) After Rebates; After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photo editing and manipulation (art), Video editing, Gaming, basics
Are you buying a monitor: I need a second monitor, thinking of pairing my Dell U2415.
Parts to Upgrade: I have a Dell xps 8500, I can pull some ram from it and an SSD but I want a larger one, I am going to use it as a second computer for the kids.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I like Newegg, but want to save money – show me what you got.
Location: City, State/Region, Country – Ellensburg, WA – USA (I drive to Seattle for VA appointments as I am a disabled veteran)
Parts Preferences: by brand or type – none really
Overclocking: Yes – but need instructions, this isn’t a necessity but I am interested in learning.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe – not sure what it is for
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 – will add a second one so do not include it in price.
Additional Comments: I use Adobe CC products, as well as On1 and Vegas, I play WoW mostly, but looking into playing some other games, no first player shooters though, I am a disabled veteran, I did enough of that crap. I want Windows Pro cheap. Looks don’t matter it hides under a desk, but quiet would be nice. Would love to rip my BluRays…
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Graphics issues, slow editing for photos, issues with Adobe, and I am bored.
