Hi all! I'm planning to upgrade my workstation/gaming PC this month, probably within the next 2 weeks. I want to keep the upgrade around or below $1000. I spend most of my time drawing, 3D modeling, and doing a bit of video editing. Besides that I use it for games. I'm planning on reusing several components from my current build such as the monitor, hard drive including the operating system, case, and disc drive. I prefer to use Newegg but I'm open to using several sites if I am able to get better prices. I'm located in central Florida, so I'm also open to hunting parts down in that area if anyone is familiar.
My current PSU is a Thermaltake TR2-430W. I'm really unsure that it will be able to support the new components, but if I can I'd like to reuse it. I can provide more information on my disc drive and USB components if they are important in finding the right PSU. I tried to run the calculations myself but I don't thing my figures are correct.
I'd prefer to stick with Intel for the board and CPU, and NVIDIA for the graphics card. I don't plan on overclocking any time soon and I won't be using crossfire/SLI. I currently use a dual monitor setup, one with 1280x1024 and the other with 1920x1080. I've been noticing my computer hanging while I've been working for a while now but the final push for an upgrade was when Dragon Age: Inquisition would barely run on the lowest settings. That stung a bit.
So with all that being said, does anyone have any advice for my upgrade? Sorry for the long post.
