Hello, to all. I wanted suggests for a new system I am building, but it has been a while since I pieced together my last one. I am woefully behind on the new items out there on the market, and I really don’t know what would be the best combinations for me, especially with the new technologies. So I’ve decided to ask for suggestions. I’ll give you an idea of what I would like. I am an illustrator who uses animation and digital programs for my works, as well as being a gamer. I would like a system capable of running programs like Photoshop, 3d studio max or Maya (for animation rendering) while still being able to use resources for other applications, like gaming in the meantime. My concern is having a good processor (dual or quad), with at least 4 gigs of ram and a high end video card. Any suggestions on models, makes, brands? I am willing to spend 2k-2.5k on the computer, not including price of peripherals. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
