New prebuilt maingear mg1

[pinkyandthebrain]

Budget (including currency): $2,000 CDN for tower

 Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I don't game as I like to learn so I may get into learning how to edit photos and videos. I use computer for just daily things like watching online videos and checking socials.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I already have an 512 ssd and 1 tb HDD in my old rig and I plan to reuse them both. My old rig has a RX480. want to go dual monitors and reuse my 1080p 144 hz monitor.

 

I was thinking about the below config for the tower. Please note that due to bug, can't select 1200w power supply which I intend to put in it.

EDIT: I want an AMD cpu so AMD build.

A 1200W PSU strikes me as insane.

thanks for your suggestion. I was hoping for a ATX motherboard and case. Do you have any recommendation for those 2? I do like having wifi and on board graphics which this build has. What is the reason for 14 cores? is that for photo and video editing?

Oh thank you. wanted to go amd route for cpu. damn those GPUs are expensive and i compared and looked up 3080 and they are even more expensive. <_> how many legs and arms do I have to sell? maybe I will go with RTX 4060 like brob said. I'm going to adjust my price range in my OP to be more price effective for just the tower.

Video editing tends to do better with more cores. Photo editing much less so.

thank you. I will def use the 4060 in my amd build

[pinkyandthebrain]

update: I am now considering to use my computer for CNC programming and using software such as mastercam, fusion 360 and solidworks etc. Which gpu should I use for workload?

[brob]

Pretty much any recently released GPU is fine.

I was thinking gpus for simulations of said programs and even programs for the future. even 4060 is good? I plan to have muti monitors because doing school work right now with 1 monitor is a pain. going to have to change up my desktop, montiors and computer setup. going to need some time and work. want it to be somewhat futureproof too. maybe will game in the future? I heard having 2 separate builds are the best but I will see.

[brob]

As far as I know, none of the software listed requires a high performance GPU.
