Suggest me about new PC

Hello,

I am looking to purchase a new pc for my home use & I have budget around $1200.

I will use this for Gaming & designing & video editing.

Are you looking to build this yourself, or purchase a pre-built machine?

 

[mastypk]

Build MySelf.

But if there is a pre build good machine, I can think about that.

Regards

What sort of designing? Are we talking photoshop or 3D CAD programs?

 

[mastypk]

Yes

Adobe Photoshop & AutoCAD

If you are into video editing I suggest checking out the recommended system over on the videoguys website.

When I built my first computer I made use of it and a few "how to build" sites I found throguh googling.
Best of luck. This is pretty fun stuff.

Oh I forgot to say a 2d and 3d monitor will enhance your video editing enjoyment exponentially.

I would recommend a Corsair, Antec, or other good (reputable and of quality) PSU, probably 750 or 850 watts, Corsair or Crucial performance memory, likely around 8GB or more. Processor depends on your likes, are you an Intel or an AMD person?

 

[mastypk]

I like Intel.

If it were MY computer, I would go with this: (I left out case, because everyone's style is different)

Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-760 Lynnfield 2.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80605I5760 X1
Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX6GX3M3C1600C7 X1
Newegg.com - Corsair Nova Series CSSD-V64GB2-BRKT 2.5" 64GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) X1
Newegg.com - HITACHI Deskstar H3IK10003272SP (0S02860) 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive X2
Newegg.com - ASUS P7P55D-E Pro LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard X1
Newegg.com - Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V version 2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply X1
Newegg.com - MSI N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card X1

This brought me to just under $1100, so you'd be in budget with about a $100-$150 case
