Hello,
I'm not techy at all, So I need help building a PC to withstand the following:
Special Needs:
Stable, Reliable, Fast, and Performance-Based hardware.
Most Used Programs:
Photoshop CS (For Graphic Design)
Notepad (For HTML, PHP, Etc..)
Maya, Lightwave 3D, 3D Studio Max (For 3D Animation/Multimedia)
Macromedia Flash (Flash Animation/Multimedia)
Soldier of Fortune 2 (Online Multiplayer Gaming)
Unreal Tournament 2004 (Online Multiplayer Gaming)
Half Life 2 (Online Multiplayer Gaming)
Battlefied (Online Multiplayer Gaming)
Budget:
$0-$1,500 - Would like to stay under the $1,500 mark as much as possible. I know the Video Card is going to be a pain at this budget.. so just a pretty good one will do.
Extra:
I have the ATX Case, 2 Hard Drives, Speakers, Monitor an so forth... I just need basically the Video Card, Motherboard, Processor, Power Supply and Memory.
I would like the Manufacture of the Motherboard to be reliable, I've had good experience with MSI, Asus, and Tyan.. I would rather not have one that is going to burn out on me.
I'd prefer the processor to be over the 2.0GHz mark, and I personally prefer a AMD CPU over Intel, but it is you opinion I need, so I'll leave it for your suggestions.
I'd rather the Memory be DDR/DDR2, 1GB (1024MB) or Over, and Dual-Channel. I've heard it's better to have 2x512MB Dual-Channel DIMM's then to have just 1x1024MB DIMM, I've never actually tested any of this out, so your opinion is needed here aswell.
Thank you in advance
