I am taking some classes next semester that will require a better computer than i have right now. I have done some searching and believe i have found a computer + Parts that will suit my needs.
I will require it to render photos and video decently fast, as well as programming and usual day to day stuff.
I am starting with this Barebones kit From tigerdirect.com
I am using this Power supply Mostly because the power supply in the case has been found to be a bit too short on cables, and its does not allow for the full use of the ports. This has 8 sata which should allow for me to use everything the motherboard has to offer.
I cant decide between two video cards. I need something decently cheap that will perform decently well. I dont need blazing fast, but i cant sit forever waiting for renders either...
This is the MSI Gefore
XFS Radeon
I believe both are compatible with the motherboard.
I also need a good 1TB or more Hard drive. I know there are a couple brands to not touch, i was thinking western digital was one. I know seagate makes some iffy external drives, but other than that not sure. What are some good brands to look for?
Is there anything else i may be over looking? or any suggestions to change?
