Greetings All,
I am quite new to the building PC world, and thus I do not quite understand what hardware I will need for my next computer. In August I will be starting a new job in a new tech field (to me), but I would like to continue with the work I was introduced to with my current employer, in my spare time. Therefore I will need to upgrade my computer setup to handle the load.
Approximate Purchase Date: the sooner the better
Budget Range: Flexible - not unlimited but not restrictive either
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Data Science/Analysis, Software Development, Web Development, Web Design, Photo/Video Graphics, HD Video/Movie streaming and viewing, *some* Gaming, Browsing the Web, General Purpose computing use.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, at least two but probably three. And eventually a projector (not initially though)
Parts to Upgrade: Everything but the keyboard and mouse
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Windows as host OS)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: prefer no more than 2 sites to purchase from - no preference for which sites, but I do have Amazon Prime to save shipping costs if necessary.
Location: Northern Colorado
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Items computer needs to handle >> Photoshop, AutoCAD, OpenGL/WebGL, CUDA, OpenCL, Microsoft Office, Eclipse IDE, Virtual/Augmented Reality software development, VirtualBox/VMware (will need to have multiple guest operating systems active simultaneously from time to time - no more than 3 at any one time though) - - RAM will certainly need to be upped for this build that much I know.
Thank you.
