Parts Preferences: Intel unless convinced AMD can do better at Both Tasks
Overclocking: Not likely
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution:1920x1080 or 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Building a computer for a friend of mine, aside from the listed above he does request a Windowed Case.
Also im not sure if an Xeon CPU would be great or if i should go with an i7 or i5.
User wants to Max out his Games @1080p or at least run the listed games on ultra
He will be upgrading from a MacBook Pro (2011 or 2012) and has complained about slow Rendering/editing times.
At this point nothing from the Macbook will be salvaged.
Will need the following items:
Case, Power Supply, CPU, Motherboard, RAM, HDD (SSD if i can fit that into the build for OS) or if a Hybrid drive would be recommended,
also unsure if I'll need an aftermarket CPU Cooler
Will be obtaining an OEM key from someone so that isn't part of the budget
Overall Less he spends atm the better as my friend does want to side money for a keyboard/mouse upgrade but he is willing to spend an upwards of 900-920 if needed.
