APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: will have to place order by 31st Dec, for tax reasons
BUDGET RANGE: $2000 - $2200 AUD, roughly
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: 3D Animation (Maya, etc) quite important. Motion Graphics (After Effects, etc) some video processing. Usual Adobe suite, Photoshop/Illustrator/Flash - gaming is NOT important (don't play)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I'll probably get new everything, keyboard, mouse etc, but just focusing on the system at this stage.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: MSY
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Australia
PARTS PREFERENCES: Almost definitely Intel and thinking either Dual 24" Dell's or perhaps a 30" with a smaller screen?
OVERCLOCKING: Never tried/done it before, but if it's worthwhile, then why not
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Whichever is suited to what i'm looking at doing
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920 x 1200 (current 24" Dell specs) but will be 2 x 24" or maybe 30"
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Not interested in bling, clear windows, lights etc. Quiet PC would be nice (if rendering over night, etc). Australian government has a 50% small business rebate on at the moment, so i'm planning on making use of it as best as possible, so i'm kinda happy to spend a decent amount for a system that i guess has room to grow, or is semi-future proof.
Are the Dell LED screen's better for what i want to do compared to the top of the line, double price, versions?
Thanks in advanced for the help! Need to order asap
