This summer I'm going to be building a computer for my use in college. I am planning on double majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics, along with a potential minor in something else. Now.. because of this I'm looking for basically a beast at everything, which I know can be difficult. I'm trying to build a system that can run the newest games at peak performance (Not 4K), handle video editing, and can run programming applications I will be using throughout my coursework. Below is a summary of everything.
Approximate Purchase Date: Latest 10th of August. Probably late July.
Budget Range: $1000-$3000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Programming, Gaming, Video Editing, Boinc, Surfing the web
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: Completely new
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg & Amazon
Location: Cottage Grove, Minnesota - USA
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU definitely, preference toward Nvidia GPUs, Corsair Products.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: At least 1920x1080
Additional Comments: It doesn't have to be silent or super quiet but I would prefer it to be quiet for respect to my roommate. The video editing software I use currently are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6. I'm interested in having two monitors for multitasking as well; however, if necessary I could stick with one for now, and another one later.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Brand new, not upgrading. I do have some random HDDs around my home.. however, they are old and vary in brand, type, size, etc.
I appreciate any help that can be given! I'm not even necessarily looking for specific parts as Q2 is nearly ending and I know there will be quite a few "back to school" sales starting up in late July/Early August. I'm more or less looking for suggestions as to what type of system, how many cores, SLI/Crossfire or no, Quadro or GeForce, RAM speed, etc.
