Building my first PC. Graphic Design/Gaming
Last response: in Systems
Hey guys, this is my first time in the forum and well, i want to build a pc for my personal use. I’ve been doing some research to make the best choices for my budget which is 1000$ (more or less). Some friends advised me to buy a Mac. But I’m not sure and I really want to make the best investment.
I’m looking for a powerful pc, for video and picture editing and graphic design (I’m a design student) but I’m also interested in some gaming. I’m also a little concern about how long it will take for the pc to become obsolete, u know in terms of new techs coming up and stuff.
So far I’ve came up with this so far (need some help with the rest of the components):
Intel Core i7-600k (is hyper-threading really needed?).
4 Corssaire RAM (16gb)
Axus Z Genie motherboard
Nvdia Gforce-540 graphic card (the one recommended here)
