My build is under $600 for a $1400 PC. Heck, yes, it's a good deal to build it myself. And if something goes wrong, I know exactly how it was built, so I know how to fix it, just like my old cars before computers screwed that up (in the 50s, 60s, and some 70's) Oh, the good old days when there...

I'm very fortunate. Adobe lets me have the teacher subscription for $19.99 a month. Expensive, but not compared to everyone else with the regular license. I hate the online subscription too. I had CS6 and loved it. No monthly payments, but the old HDD died and I didn't have the serial number...

What board do you recommend? It's still a quad. Is it faster with the current 500 watt power supply?

Hello! I have the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 with the AMD FX 4300 quad-core 3800 MHz chip. I make YouTube shows and animations for my class (I teach history to 6th graders), and I use Adobe Creative Cloud. I need a faster processor, but I don't want to buy a new PC until the prices go down. I can buy...
