All around Rig

[twistedvisionld]

Im Looking to build an all around rig...meaning about 80% for gaming and 20% for photoshop, illustrator, and similar programs.

My budget is about $2000.00 but will only have $800.00 to get a PC up and running till i can access my other funds. If you have time i would appreciate some advise for parts and which of those parts i should spend the 800 on first to get an up and running PC. Thanks and much appreciated.

Do you have any specific parts in mind? If you only have 800$ to spend so far, I suggest you buy other parts that are on sale so you can get more bang for your buck

Im the reason i said i was using this pc for gaming and other stuff was to determine weather i should get an i7 or i5....i would like to start with the essential parts first..mobo, processor, memory....stuff like that but need help deciding what to get to have  a running computer...cause last one was a store bought POS handed down and it finally crashed. but i dont want to cheap out using that 800 either since my future budget rises to 2000.00

Unless you need the extra threads, stick with the i5 because it's a better value that still performs admirably. 

What kind of dollars are you using? Is a copy of Windows or any peripherals needed?

 

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

There are forum members from all over the world that use New Zealand dollars, Australian dollars, etc. 

 

I'd suggest something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KbBY8d

and surviving off of the iGPU until you can afford the other parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PB2fRB

As for speakers/headphones, head towards the Audio sub-forum for some recommendations.
