  1. I was looking at the Samsung 850. I think that will be best. Thank you.
  2. She doesn't necessarily need a lot of HD space, so I think the speed is a win. Why not go m.2?
  3. Alright everyone, here's what I came up with . I cheated and I went over budget a little bit. But I am hoping for some really good black Friday deals. CPU: Ryzen 3 1200 ...........................................................$99 Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB....... $159 HD: Samsung EVO - 250GB M.2 Sata III...........................$105 Motherboard: ASRock AB350M Pro4.................................$60 RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB (2x8) DDR4............................$135 Power Supply: Corsair CS850M (cheating, I have a spare)...$0 Case, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard.... reuse old components. ______________________________________________ Total: $558 What do you guys think of this build? Any foreseeable problems?
  4. That's a good option. Thank you for the advice.
  5. Rookie mistake on my part. I'm thinking similar. Luckily shes not working with photo or video so not much storage will be necessary.
  6. I think Ryzen might be the way to go. I think I'd rather put the money into that and go 16GB on the RAM. I see a lot of people saying 32gb. Do you think that's really necessary?
  7. Honestly, it's probably not that intensive. The company she's taking courses from next week won't tell her the software she needs until the course, I just don't want to miss out on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals if possible. I'm thinking two monitors and first and a possibility for a third if she needs it down the road.
  8. Hey everyone. I am brand new to this site but a long time fan of Linus. I have a pretty sweet build for my photo editing but I put $2k into it 3 years ago. But I am not here for me, my mom isn't so mobile these days and is going to start working from home. She is going to be running non-graphic intensive software but a lot of different programs simultaneously and needs multiple monitors. She also needs the internet to be as fast as possible to where her network carrier is the biggest bottleneck, never the PC. She is upgrading to Business class 100Mbs. We don't need a monitor, don't need good graphics (not for gaming), just a system that can handle lots of software running simultaneously without any problems. Imagine running 5 of the most labor intensive Adobe programs at the same time while one is rendering video and another is rendering 3D while a third is processing thousands of photos. Also no overclocking, we want the components to last as long as possible. Any and all advice helps. Thank you everyone in advance.
