Hello all,
I currently have an average laptop and I'm in dire need of upgrading it so it can handle UDK, Autodesk Maya and Photoshop better, this involves a lot of multi-tasking, so my question is how should I go about buying a new computer.
I've browsed around the system bundles, and looked at the system configuration page, my budget is around £650;
The requirments I need are the following;
OP - Windows 7 Home 64bit
CPU - Quad Core processor - 3.6GHz?
Memory - 8GB RAM
Hard drive - *not sure around 500GB?*
Graphics card - NVIDIA 8000 series or higher
---
CPU cooler?
Motherboard?
Here is something I'm thinking about, it looks like a good deal, need advice though!
AMD 10000a Configurator - Home System (£660)
Case - Sharkoon T9 Gaming Tower - Black/Red
Processor - AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4100 Black Edition 3.60GHz
CPU cooler - AMD Stock Cooler (None overclocked systems)
Motherboard - Asus M5A78L-M LX 760G (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
Memory - Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB 1600MHz CAS9 Memory Kit
Graphics card - OcUK GeForce GT430 1024MB GDDR3
Hard drive - Seagate Baracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6GB/s 16MB Cache
No Second Hard Drive
Optical - LG CH10LS28 BD-ROM 10x BluRay ROM / DVDRW SATA-II Optical Drive - Black (does this mean I can watch BluRay discs?
