I am coming back into building a new PC after spending almost 20 years on a Mac.
Why Are You Upgrading: (e.g. I'm having trouble running game X or my PSU broke)
The Imacs are extremely limited and difficult to upgrade. Looking for a more versatile system/solution for my video editing needs and a solution that I can upgrade as necessary.
Budget: (e.g.: 300-400) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping
$2500 or less
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Within a month
Use Case: What will your machine be used for? (e.g.: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies)
Will be used for video editing 4k/5k footage, running 2 drone simulations on steam, surfing the net and other basic things. It would ONLY be used for those things.
Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using**
Currently dont have a PC as I am using an Imac.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes / No
Yes
Your Monitor Resolution and desired frame rate: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or if you're upgrading please state what you'd want to get)
Would prefer something that will last me for a while and give a great image for video editing.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts? (Newegg, Amazon, or somewhere else)
Amazon
Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to upgrade to Intel CPU)
Intel, Asus, Kingston
Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe
Maybe
Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC. Please also list specific software or games you're using)
No bling really necessary. Looking for a more functional rig that can handle video editing.
I have come up with a list of things that I think may handle it, but also need advice on what I am missing? Right now, I am at about $2100.
