Hi! I’m looking to build my first PC and I’ve spent the last few days trying to learn as much as I can. I’ve put together this list after some analysis, but I’m still very new to this and would love some opinion on it.
I am a designer, and I use mostly Photoshop, Illustrator, and similar creative tools. I'm not a hardcore gamer right now, but that’s mostly because my current setup is old. I'd like the PC to last me a log time without needing major updates, but at the same time, I'm not sure if I'm overspending, maybe a cheaper set up will be enough for my needs. I'm also unsure about the case and whether the overall look of the parts will work well together. + I will need a new monitor, still don't know what should I get.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
