Hello!,

 

First post here, praying its the right section (bet you hear that alot)

 

I have a big question! What should I be pushed towards buying? I'm going to start my apprenticeship at a hosting company soon and want to try out something with Xeons in it pref dual as thats what I will be working with them.

 

I plan to be doing some Rendering with this computer, some gaming (Planetside2, Alien Isolation, Red factions), Java compliling and some other bits.

 

I'm still a student at college atm my transfer is not completed yet and as such I dont have alot of money to throw at this project I really need it to last me 5 - 7 years. my current budget is around £850 - 900. I have got a overkill PSU and got myself a Graphics card but need to find out which motherboard and processor I should go for but I am getting cold feet.
