I've been reading aot... but I'll admit to being a noob in terms of PC hardware, builds and computer tech. I'm looking for advice on a New Build. I work as a photographer and filmmaker and will be using the machine primarily for that.
From the "Guidelines" Post:
Purchase Date: Within the month
Budget Range: $1500-$2000
System Usage Most important: Photography and HD Video Post-Production using Adobe Master Suite: Photoshop/Lightroom/Premiere Pro/After Effetcs/ etc
I don't do any gaming.
Monitor: Dell U2410 (I have one and would like to add another eventually)
OS - Windows 7 (what version should I run?)
Preferred Site for Parts: New Egg or whatever is best deal.
I will be buying parts off the internet... no stores nearby
Part Preferences: I'm assuming Intel/Nvidia works best with Adobe Products in terms of the Mercury Playback engine, etc (?). I definitely want a system to maximize efficiency between the CPU, Graphics Card and Adobe products.
Over-clocking (?): I'm not sure I understand it...
My Monitor Resolution is 1920 x 1200
My goal is to have a machine that will handle the demands of using Premiere Pro and After Effects, Davinci Resolve etc. I'd like a build that I could expand as needed if that's possible.
My limit of $2000 is slightly flexible if there is a reason to go abit over.
Thank you all in advance for any constructive input....
