Hello all,
New to this forum and am getting ready to build my computer this weekend with my son. I have actually 'built' several computers by salvaging older computers to take several and make one, but this will be my first from scratch with new components.
I know that this isn't the newest and best out there, but I was looking for deals on quality components. Some of the items were rated high before the new technology came out. I chose an ROG Motherboard simply for its quality, rating and features.
Here is my build that will commence on Saturday morning
Computer Build
• Intel Core i5 4590 CPU
• ROG Maximus VI Gene Motherboard
• EVGA Geforce GTX 750ti SC 2g GPU
• EVGA 500B PSU
• Gskill Ripjaw 8x2 (16gb) DDR3-1866 Memory
• Zalman CNPS10X CPU Cooler
• Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB OS Drive
• WD Green 2TB Storage
• Seagate 1TB Scratch and backup storage
• LG 24x Super Mulit DVD drive
• Cooler Master Silencio Case
The 2 hard drives are the only items that aren't brand new, but they aren't that old. I do plan on an array of SSD's in the future as finances allow.
My primary use will not be gaming as I am an amateur photographer who likes to use Lightroom and Photoshop with a little graphic design with InDesign and Illustrator thrown in the mix. I do also have Adobe Premier Elements and have just started dabbling with video editing. But, I mainly wanted a solid computer with quality components.
Thanks for taking a look and any tips (or critiques) you can think of to pass my way would be greatly appreciated.
Peace,
DeaconJ
