Approximate Purchase Date: End of June, 2012
Budget Range: about 1500$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 2d animation in Flash cs5.5, photoshop, maya, internet, watching videos, word processing.
Parts Not Required: All I have is a keyboard, and a Cintiq.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no idea yet.
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: I really have no preference.
Overclocking: Maybe.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe? I'm not sure.
Monitor Resolution: I'm currently running one monitor with 1680x1050, and the other is 1600x1200. The 1600x1200 one is staying, and I'd like the other to be comparable.
Additional Comments: Needs to be able to run two monitors, since I have a cintiq and need a second monitor. I also need at least 4 USBs.
I'm not a PC gamer at all, and I am hesitant to buy a computer directed for gaming when that might not be the best thing to handle heavily textured flash scenes or render something in 3D.
If there are any guides that are still relevant with doing 2D heavy work, I'd love to see them. I'm not sure what kind of strain Flash puts on a computer.
Thanks for your time, and any help! I'm really lost with all of these different parts out there, and could use a starting point.
