Hey guys. I'm kinda new to this forum and I really, really would need some help from you guys. I have some knowledge about computers but not so much. I am planning on building a PC, more like a workstation. My budget is 2000$ for sure BUT it can add up to 2500$ with no problem so keep that in mind. I been on other forums and all over the internet but can't figure out what I really need. So in this case I will try to explain it to you guys as short as possible. I play games, but I am not a CRAZY gamer, if you guys know what I mean. Yeah of course I will try all these new games with awesome quality and everything beast which means I would like my PC to handle what I give him, games like battlefield ucpoming one and GTA V, maybe some call of duty games, but all these new games, forget about the old ones. But still I won't be that insane gamer with headphones that will go crazy. I hope you guys understand me perfectly. I will also play counter strike source the new one and the old one, but these are okay, they are not that big of a deal I guess. Now the second part. I also am a graphic designer, I'm not working for a company or so I just do this as my hobby and I love it. This is what I'm gunna do you know. I'm also 17 y/o. Most programs I use are Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and so on. Sometimes I feel like doing some VFX work or just animations and I might try it out and use Cinema 4d or/and After Effects and all this heavy stuff but I am not proffessional at all which means it will take me time but still, in case I will do stuff, I want my computer to be able to handle it. Also I will use probably Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas stuff which means...hmmmm some rendering. So, to summarize this, I need a PC under 2500$ that will handle latest games and serve as a good workstation, especially for photoshop/premiere, I never want to see my PC struggling with it. So if this won't be a problem guys, I have some requirements: I would like a Intel processor. A full tower in case I decide to upgrade. *minium RAM 16 GB. Not more than 2TB of hard disk or if its a nice price then why not more than 2 TB. A ssd would be fine for the system and stuff you know, something like a * Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB * just an example, an SSD for a fast memory I guess, you guys know better. If you guys can, a mice/keyboard included, not cheap sh*t but not expensive sh*t, just decent keyboard and mice. I don't care about the graphics card as long as it's going to handle the games and the 3D stuff I will work with. Also I would like in the cooling system in the whole PC NOT to be with water/liquid cooling. ( yes I know I could do all this by myself if I already wrote too much but I just want to make sure it will handle both of these stuff I told you guys and be able to upgrade for more years, especially the motherboard has to be a really good one. I'm really sorry if this is too much I want and everything but I would REALLY REALLY BE THANKFUL TO YOU GUYS IF YOU CREATE ME A GOOD ASS PC. Thank you again !
