Building a Graphics & Gaming PC
Last response: in Systems
I'm trying to find the perfect components to build a PC that would suit all of my requirements and needs while at the same time
being rather affordable.
I've researched newegg previously with some assistance and "HAD" an idea of what I wanted but lost the majority of that info.
I'm looking into Comuter Graphic softwares like Autodesk Maya, and Photoshop CS6 to name some and looking into the having the
power to game on a rather serious level if the need arose.
I need, well generally everything.
I know I want 2 SSDs and a 1-3TB HDD
But I need some assistance with the rest of the build since I've never built one before
I want a tower capable of adjustments and a sufficient cooling system with a great power source
room for upgrades of course an obviously good videocard and motherboard along with CPU and
memory units for sufficient RAM.
Some advice and general points in the right directions will be greatly appreciated

Sweet. That looks awesome so far. Now the last thing I've got to say is I've got some opinions over here and generally the only thing they agree on that isn't the BEST idea would be the CPU as they deem it too powerful and rather unnecessary for what I'm doing. Have any opinion on this or do you know of a CPU which is not as powerful but can deliver what I want to a great efficiency?
And what about a suitable soundcard if one's necessary?
I'm trying to not only build a powerful PC but one with all the necessities as well. As i said before I'm unsure of what
I necessarily need, what goes with what and etc.
