Hi everyone, new user here. Hopefully someone can help me out! I am looking to get an entirely new PC sometime in the nearish future, as my current one just cannot keep up anymore. Thanks!
Approximate Purchase Date: Not sure, hopefully sometime in the near future (next two-three months)
Budget Range: $1500 total
System Usage from Most to Least Important: digital media production (Photoshop, AE, Premiere, Audition CS6, Maya/Max, Unity), gaming, internet surfing, writing, watching movies.
Are you buying a monitor: Probably not, current monitor is SyncMaster 2053bw, 1680x1050
Do you need to buy OS: Yes. Windows 7 64
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Not sure, I have never done this before. I'll leave this up to the more experience buyers/builders out there.
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Parts Preferences: Again, not sure. I will trust more experienced judgment. As long as it can handle what I need it to handle then I am fine.
Overclocking: Maybe, if possible.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, totally open to it if it is the best option.
Your Monitor Resolution: Current is 1680x1050, but if people recommend getting a better monitor than I would be open to that.
Additional Comments: No bling necessary, I just need it to run all the programs mentioned before (the CS6 production suite, as well as rendering 3ds Max and Maya. The sort of games I play/want to play:
-Counter-strike: GO
-TF2
-BF3
-Farcry 3
-Planetside 2
-Skyrim
I do not need these games to be played at ultra settings with amazing FPS either, I just want to be able to play them on at least high, (smooth FPS), but currently I have to play CS:GO and TF2 on low, and I cannot even run BF3 or Skyrim.
I do not need any peripherals either.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am upgrading because the school program I am in requires a powerful computer (rendering and such). I also want to be able to enjoy some of the newer games that are out/coming out. My current computer is also becoming very slow and sluggish, and recently the sound just stopped working and I have not been able to fix it, so I'm thinking it is time for an upgrade.
Thank you to those of you who take the time to read this and help me out. I also have a quick question...before stumbling onto this forum, I had never heard of PCPartPicker. Can you order directly from this website and the computer will come to you assembled, or do you have to go and order each piece from the individual merchants and then assemble it at home? Thanks!
