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!
