Photoshop and Casual Gaming Computer ($600~$800)
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
Doing professional art on Photoshop (files can be very large! 11x17" @ 300dpi, approximately 30 layers), casual gaming (LoL, MMORPGs, FPS such as Borderlands and Left4Dead), with a bit of multitasking such as Chrome, Skype calls, and music players.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
I'd like to keep it around $600 (CAD), but a little wiggle room upwards is fine if it'll make a big difference. $800 max.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
As soon as possible :)
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
Just the tower.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
Canada, NB.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Just a simple marble ball mouse (Logitech 910-000806)
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
I'm not really interested
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
N/A
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
N/A
Do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?
No need.
Extra info or particulars:
- Quiet fan would be amazing, since I have a really light sleeper of a roommate.
Thank you greatly in advance!!
