Approximate Purchase Date: Between now and New Years
Budget Range: ~$800-900 less would be better
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video Editing/3D modeling. This build is for my high school son, who has an interest in attending college majoring in computer graphics technology.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Maybe. He is a high school student, not sure if he could score this for free.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any US.
Location: Central Indiana, US
Parts Preferences: Best performance for desired purpose
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: currently 1900x1200. Would a higher resolution be required in college?
The goal of this build is to give him a machine that can handle all of the programs he would likely encounter in a college computer science/graphic technology course. He will also use it for gaming, but I assumed that building for video editing/graphics modeling would fulfill requirements for gaming. Thanks in advance for the help/advice.
