Hey guys. I'm posting this for my friend and his wife. I appreciate any help you can offer.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
1.This computer will be used for HD Video and RAW image editing, web browsing, and playing audio/video media all at the same time. An example would be editing RAW images in photoshop while streaming a TV show and cruising internet forums. The editing programs being used are mainly Adobe Creative Suite 4 products. ie Photoshop, lightroom, premiere, flash. Also Corel Draw and Vegas Pro.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
2. Budget is up to $1500 including tax.
3) Where do you live?
3. Reno NV
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
4. Everything. Case, power supply, processor, memory, hard drive, video card, OS, motherboard, Monitor, DVD burner
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
5. The only part I will be reusing is a small card reader that fits into a 2.5 slot on my current computer and a 1TB 7200rpm HD that can be factored into the calculation for a power supply but not into the budget. So this would be a second internal drive.
6) Will you be overclocking?
6.No
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
7. I would like a 23"+ monitor. The monitor is the most important part of the build since all images edited go to print and the color needs to be reproduced as accurately as possible for the budget.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
8. I plan to build this PC within the month.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
9. I don't know what features I need. What I want to do is transfer large amounts of files quickly both internally and to an external drive. Also quickly capture media from devices to the computer mainly from my wife's Canon 5d Mark II. I want to be able to run a video editing program or picture editing program with very large file sizes while listening to music, browsing the web, or watching a video. And I want it to run as smooth as possible for my budget.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
10. I would like to buy windows 7 64-bit (include that in the $1500 budget).
