I've been away from computers for a while now. Just plugging away at my old one. But, I need to upgrade... this is where you come in (if you don't mind helping). I need to get a new rig built but, like I said I've been away and don't even know what systems, procs, or mobo's, gpu's are current? I'm leaning towards intel, nvidia, and lots of memory. I also have never used Win8... would you recommend it or stick with 7?... I'll be researching this stuff too, I just need a place to start. I work HEAVILY in Photoshop so anything to help in that area would be awesome! My budget is $1700. I don't need keyboards, mice or anything like that... I will mostly need help finding:
Mobo that's EASILY overclocked
Ram the more the better
GPU a decent one that will last me a few years... I'm not gaming so don't have to be the baddest.
Proc I leave that one to you... I'd like a good one that'll last me several years and easily overclockable.
SSD I have no idea where to start on this one either... not the top of the line but a good one with a decent amount of space.
Power Supply Not the baddest, just a quality one.
Current system is in my specs... if you dare to see how old it is!
