Hey guys and gals...I'm new to the forums here but have been on them here and there looking up advice, and most of the posters seem very knowledgeable and friendly so I decided to register and make a post of my own.
I'm looking to build a computer (not sure whether to build it myself or to customize one somewhere online, however..) roughly in the $1000-$1500 range. Obviously as always, the cheaper the better. Funds are very tight right now and probably can't even afford that but this isn't going to be a right-away-project. Looking around, it seems as i7 is the way to go. I'll be using the PC for a lot of gaming, as well as video editing/animation/modeling as I'm a student in that field as well. I do want to have a bit of "future proof" in mind.
I'm not as up to date on technology right now as I used to be, and ANY recommended builds would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance!
