Oh this is perfect! I'll look into the parts as well as NZXT. I've heard of it before and it's gotten some really great reviews. The build you offered here is at a much better price than I could imagine! Thanks so much. I'll look into that too! We have some PC stores around and I'm sure with a bit of searching I can find what I need. Thanks again this helps a lot!

These are just fine! I just needed a basis so I could do better research into computers. This isn't an immediate "must have" it's just something I'm working into getting. (Im asking the family and just relaying what they're telling me lol). In terms of the Ryzon 7 1700 and the RX 580, how would I go about actually building a PC or finding PreBuilt PCs? Don't worry about the budget if the parts and computers you suggest are on the cheaper side of things within it's caliber, if that makes sense.

As I said above, the best price for a computer that can get a good job done! It's pretty open right now budget-wise.

Our budget at this point in time is what minimum does a good job haha. I'm in the US and I'm just putting together a to-do list to collect my resources! I'll check out that system, if there are any other options let me know!

I've already posted this question in another forum website, however I want to get as many different answers as I can. I'm a digital artist who is looking to expand into game design (and development) as well as music- however my current computer cannot run more than my run of the mill art programs and small, compact games (it will even lag on Vanilla Minecraft, of all things). I'm looking for the most affordable, best option for a computer that can handle 3D and 2D game dev, music programs and basic illustration software (I currently use Paint Tool Sai). It sounds like a lot but I want to get the most I can out of my interests. I would prefer a Desktop but a complimentary laptop suggestion works fine as well as I would like to bring some of my projects from my desktop to school and still be able to work on them. Thanks!
