Hello everybody
I have been somehow avoiding building my own PC for quite sometime, even convinced myself on an Alienware system back when I last upgraded (was on sale, only $100 more than a custom built system at the same level). But now that I am doing more photography and video editing, I need a better rig that can handle what I am putting my aging desktop through better.
I have been tinkering with the parts list for a while now, and was hoping to find anyone with more experience that could give me an opinion on this setup. I have multiple external HDs for data backup, and plan on getting a Drobo soon, so I don't need much in the way of internal space, just enough to keep working files on the desktop. I also plan on eventually adding in a second graphics card, as I find myself playing less on a console, and more on my PC.
So here is my base parts list:
So any feedback would rock, no hurry though as I will be buying parts slowly over the next 5-6 months.
