So my sister is about to start a new company which involes professional Graphic Designing. She already has a a lot of people who she is working for and will continue to after she graduates and completes her degree. She does all her work on her 27' IMac which is really slowing her down. She is fed up and doesn't have the money to buy a new PC. She likes windows after using mac for so long. So I will gift her a custom built PC. She tends to have a lot of programs running and also uses her computer 24/7.
My budget for this build is $4000 - $4500 Canadian. Because I am pretty sure that she needs to use all that power. A little over the price is fine.
First, she needs a lot of storage. She has to work with high quality files which end up being really big. I don't thing running raid SSD's would be a good option because of risk of losing all the files. A 1TB Evo SSD could be useful but only is it fits the budget. If it doesn't a 256GB or 512GB is fine and really big storage HDD's.
Second, I will not water cool because it is just really complicated. I AIO Cpu water cooler is fine.
Third, This build includes OS, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The OS needs to be windows 8.1, 2 or 3 1440p monitors with the best color quality, and a Ducky Shine 3 with Mx Blue and white LED keyboard with a Corsair M45 mouse. She already has headphones.
Fourth, The case should be the Fractal Design R4 because it is silent and great looking. Also a lot of silent fans like the corsair ones.
I'm pretty sure I will get it built by NCIX because they do a great job or I might just do it myself.
