Hi everyone,
I have spent the past few weeks reading books and spent a lot of time on this forum.
Selecting components is very difficult without experience.
I want to build a computer which is "value for money" not cheap and not expensive.
I currently have a Lenovo with AMD Athlon 3.5 7800 GPU and integrated graphics card. There is 12 GB of Ram and 2TB of hard rive storage.
I have attempted editing Go Pro video and it's pretty much impossible. I also run a heavy duty 3D modelling software tool which also makes the system struggle.
I don't currently game on my PC but I would love to get in to that at some point.
I have about 331 GB of data on the harddrive. I also use photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat DC and a heap of other work related programmes as well as the usual email and web browsing.
I want to be able to do those tasks quickly and easily and be able to upgrade in the future without any major overhauls if possible.
I have a budget of £800 - £1,200 or $1,036 - $1,554
One thing I was quite keen on was getting the power down and keeping the machine as cool as possible as I thought both of these factors would help increase the lifespan of any expensive components.
If anyone can give me some ideas about which components would fulfill the "value for money" criteria whilst delivering good performance within that budget i'd be most grateful for your help.
Thanks!
Dan
