Alright so I'm going to try and follow the "How to ask for new build or upgrade advice thread" but first let me just tell you about what i want to build.
This computer is going to be my everything computer.
Im 20 years old and a keen(if not accomplished) programmer and casual gamer saving up to build my first computer. Many aspects of computing interest me and i would like my computer to be equipped to deal with an array of different situations.
The games i generally play are not to resource intensive (moba's like League of Legends and Dota) however i think if i had a more powerful computer i might get into some of the more resource intensive games and the ability to stream games would be nice too.
My Computer Needs to be able to comfortably :
- Run a variety of IDE's and compilers
- Run virtual machines
- Mess about with 3d graphics like blender (nothing crazy though)
- Handle most games (not necessarily 1 trillion fps on highest settings)
- Convert Audio and Video
- Edit Photos and Videos
Finally i would like to have room to expand and upgrade all my parts as this is only my first build and id like to be able to tweak and upgrade things as and when i need too (i think this is mainly about the motherboard i choose?).
Now for the guide following...
Approximate Purchase Date :
2/3 months time
Budget Range : ~£900
System Usage : Programming/Gaming/Photo Editing/Video Editing/Video Conversion/Audio Conversion/3D Creation/Streaming(maybe)
Monitor : No i already have 2
OS : I have a spare copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Preferred Website For Parts : None
Location : Manchester
Parts Preference:
- I like the look of the Corsair 500R even if it is a bit pricy
- I'd like to go for an Intel CPU
- I'd like maybe a 250gb SSD to boot from and store important programs
- Also a 1TB regular hard-drive for storing files
Overclocking : Not sure but would be nice to have the option
SLI or Crossfire : Not sure but would be nice to have the option
Monitor Resolution : 2X (1920x1080) Monitors
Additional Comments : Quiet or adjustable would be nice
Why am I upgrading : My current computer is cheap and just doesn't cut it
Thanks in advance
