Hi all,
I was recommended to join TH to get help building a desktop for my brother. He's a graphic designer, works with high demand graphic computer software. He wants to do 3D design and simulation, along with the Photo shop stuff.
He got $2k to spend.
Please give me some recommendations on all the needed components. I've build computer before, but have not really keep in touch with computer hardware and stuff for almost 10 years... =(
CPU - AMD vs Intel, how many cores does he really need?
GPU - Nvidia vs ATI, which suits high demand graphic design, not necessary for gaming, physic card or not. dual cards or single?
MoBo - brand? model?
storage - Sata3 or 2?
anything else important i'm missing? please give me your input.
Need the best bang for buck =)
thanks
