Approximate Purchase Date: Next 2 months.
Budget Range: 600-800 Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: SAGETV, PHOTOSHOP, BLURAY RIPS, HOME DESIGN
Parts Not Required: Will be getting a monitor, keyboard, and mouse do not include in budget.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, ibuypower.com, cyberpowerpc.com
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: First build, like ASUS and GIGABYTE – Quad core CPU
Overclocking: Not unless I need to.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes – future. Just need one video card for now.
Monitor Resolution: When I purchase the monitor, it will need to be high for photo editing.
Additional Comments:
I was hoping someone here could help me out. I have upgraded PCs and will have help, but when I build my own PC, I always end up spending too much. Asking on the sites to the products below, I get generalized or million different answers. I need to build a server/General use PC that will:
1. Run SAGETV server.
2. Provide storage
3. Run Photoshop at full resolution.
4. Rip blurays/dvds.
5. Do some CAD.
6. Backup pictures. I can get videos re-ripped, but can't replace pictures.
7. Backup other computers.
How does this look? Am I missing something?:
