    Hi all

    I want to build a computer for gaming and college. The machine needs to be able to run 3DS Max smoothly, animation software (tbc), and general coding projects.

    I have a build that I think is suitable if not a tad over budget


    1. What is your budget?     €800

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming/3D Modelling/Programming/Animation.

    Games include: Skyrim, Dark souls, Battlefield, Tomb Raider, Crysis.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Other than keyboard, mouse, monitor, no.

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [19'/20'/22'/24'/etc.]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?     Yes I plan to upgrade (when I can afford too), Present: 1366 x 768.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes but only if I have too

    8. How can you pay? Laser/Bank Transfer

    9. When are you purchasing? 14 Days (gradually)

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? South Dublin

    Below is the build I have got mocked up, with some help from those on reddit.
