What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
Will use it mostly for image editing, 3D modelling and rendering. I am using mostly, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketchup and VRAY for rendering. Plus the usual browsing, media, some Office, and rarely games. .
I came up with a build (here) by looking through suggestions from the sub, but it's been years since I last built a system so I have no idea what I am doing.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
About €800 -€50.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
In a week or two.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
Tower. Nothing fancy, a simple case will suffice. I would like it have housing for at least 3 internal hdds. Power source GPU – mostly for rendering and rarely for games Motherboard CPU RAM SSD HDD, my old 60GB is almost full by now..
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
I live in Thessaloniki, Greece, but I can order most of the parts from local retailers or Amazon UK/Germany
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
LG monitor 22EA53 LED. I will probably get something larger in a year or two, but nothing concrete yet Mouse - Gigabyte M6880 4TB HDD, SATA, 7200 RPM Keyboard Logitech k200
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
No.
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
I would like a somewhat quiet build.
What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.
I already have a Wireless 802.11b/g/n TP-Link usb adapter and my place is already wired for ethernet.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
I would prefer a mid-tower, not too many bells and whistles. A panel with usb ports and a card reader would be nice but not deal breaking.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
I have a licence for win 10.
Extra info or particulars:
Most of the parts will be bought from here, they have the best prices for Greece.
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated
