So I am planing to build a new PC from scratch… I want to use it in the first place for Computer graphics but not as a proffesional… I am trying to learn by myself so I need a decent computer who can run Maya, 3ds Max, Zbrush, Photoshop at a decent speed… I will play from time to time on it but, again, that is not the main purpose of the computer. So here is what I came up with within my budget ( about 1k euro + monitor)
Intel Core i7-3770 Box, LGA1155 (http://www1.hardwareversand.de/Socket+1155/56295/Intel+Core+i7-3770+Box%2C+LGA1155.article )
ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3, Sockel 1155, ATX ( http://www1.hardwareversand.de/artic...2888&agid=1601 )
8GB-Kit Corsair XMS3 PC3-12800U CL9
Cooler Master HAF 912 ( http://www1.hardwareversand.de/artic...41084&agid=631 )
EVGA GeForce GTX 550-Ti, 2048MB, PCI-Express ( http://www1.hardwareversand.de/artic...7057&agid=1156 )
Cooler Master GX Series PSU, 80Plus Bronze - 750 Watt
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 3 6GB/s
ASUS DRW-24B3ST Bulk SATA schwarz
Peripherals:
ASUS ML239H 58.4cm (23") ( http://www1.hardwareversand.de/artic...8156&agid=1649 )
A4Tech pro. USB-Gaming Tastatur X7-G300
Razer NAGA MMOG Laser Gaming Mouse
I placed the link to some products in case you want to check specific details. The price for this thing is 1132 euro including Win 7 64 bit and the assembling process.
I hope you guys can give me some feedback since I am by no means an expert in hard ware… So please, if you have any sugestions please post them here… The only thing I want to ask you is, if possible, to try to make suggestions thinking about the price range as well. And one more thing: with all the respect for Apple, I do not want a Mac… I just don’t feel right… is something in my head that refuses to get used to a Mac… I tried a little bit at some friends… Plus, to buy a Mac with this same configurations would be impossible… unless I buy it second hand…
Thanks for your time guys!
