Budget (including currency): $1200 (Just the PC,not includes peripherals or any transportation cost)

Country: Honduras (I will buy every part on USA)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

  • Game development (Hobby):
    • Unreal Engine, Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Krita.
  • Software development (Professional, I rather create VMs for the programs that not need to run from my physical machine):
    • Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, C++, C#, Java, Node.js, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSql, MongoDB.
  • Gaming: Anything from AAA games to indie games, should be able to run current games at least in medium settings (1080P, 60FPS).

Other details : I have a Huion Kamvas 16 Drawing tablet(2021) which I would like to use besides two extra monitors(I don't have these yet).

 

My current pc, an Acer Predator gaming laptop from 2017 just died, it served me very well with just a GTX1060 card was more than enough for all the gaming and work I do, now its time to get a new PC.

 

I'm looking for any suggestion you can provide.

 

Thank you for your time.
