I plan to buy a new computer next month. (Windows) 

 

I have a macbook pro retina 13", mainly for university,music, pictures and surfing,

I use my old windows computer and VPS for goldfarming.

 

 

What do i need this computer for:

 

- General use (Youtube, social media) -> many tabs 

 

- Graphics ( I want to get more in touch with graphics in general)

 

- Metin2 (its a mmorpg you have to download)

 

- Music download ( a lot ) and film streaming 

 

- Excel and power point

 

 

 

Note that i don't need this computer for goldfarming!

 

I am also going to get more in touch with html/css (if you know a good software for beginners let me know).

Same goes for graphics (something for BEGINNERS)

 

- I do NOT need a screen.

 

I would like to spend under 500€ -> around 690$. I am able to spend more if it is needed but i would rather not.

 

 

 

My questions about it:

 

- On what details do i have to take a look when i buy it for my needs listed above.

- What graphic program do you suggest for beginners?

- Should i even buy a windows for my needs listed above or save up for a imac?

- Is there any software for html/css ?

- Which version of Windows?

 

 

 

Thank you guys.

Thanks tommied !

gtx 660 or 760, i5, 8 gig ram, any mobo that fits your budget, probably a 700w psu

Main program for graphics desginer is Photoshop CS6. For cool 3d text like the one in your signatue people use the program Cinema 4D.

There are many other programs but photoshop is the best for starters.

that link I put does some of the cheapest for their quality!

Are you planning to build it from parts? Would get better cheaper :p

id really like to be able to build my own computer, and not on a gaming website but like order the parts and put it together myself, how hard is it?

You may find some help here:

If you're willing to build it yourself, and put time into choosing parts one by one with SOME help.  Try http://www.pcpartpicker.com/

I'm using it to choose/order the pieces I need for my gaming rig.  Plus it searches for the best deals for you automatically. :P

I can provide reasons for every piece of hardware if you'd like.

People who know me from PB will know I'm a nerd.

I could use a new computer also.. Checking out the links you guys posted, thanks

I recommend either PMing me or making a new thread listing your budget and what the build will be used for, that way it can be tailored for you.
