Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum, and my first PC I'm considering building. I am running an HP 8740W laptop workstation right now, and it does everything I need. I'm hoping for this to be a home-base workhorse that is upgrade-able in the future.
Thanks in advance for any advice
Approximate Purchase Date: Immediately
Budget Range: 2-3k
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3d rendering and modeling (Rhino, Maya, 3ds Max, Revit), photo editing and graphic design (photoshop and illustrator), video editing
Parts Not Required: (e.g.: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS) Mouse, monitor, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Don't have a real preference, but I'll go with newegg.com
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: It looks like an Intel cpu is the choice, looking for a lot of RAM (8-12 GB)
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution:N/A
Additional Comments:
I would like to focus on making this easily upgrade-able.
Im currently running an Intel core i7 Q820 @ 1.73 GHZ and 8GB of RAM, and fairly frequently run into the upper limits of both, so I'd like to extend those capabilities.
How does everyone feel about running OS X on this machine?
