Computer for graphic design

[analonso03]

Hello, I'm not very sure if my post belongs here or not

You see, I've been taking a course in graphic design and now I want to build my own PC. To be honest, my idea is to work with it and with the savings I have, my budget is around 1500€. Although I wouldn't mind investing a little more if the components are good. I haven't bought anything yet, so I'm starting from scratch.

To be honest, I don't have a preference for certain brands, although I'm clear that I prefer Intel over AMD.

I've also been looking at Comprar Ordenador and PcComponentes.com, but I'm not very sure if it's the best option.

Thank you very much for the help! ;D

I would start with this:

Custom budget. PcComponentes.com

You get to the high-end platform with an x6 but this quad core has a better performance/price ratio and a good integrated one that could also be useful for some calculation functions. Also, it's not a bad idea to leave a few euros in the piggy bank for a possible purchase of a graphics card if you end up working with some software that takes advantage of it or to buy a tablet with which you can draw.

P.D.: I put the Windows 8 upgrade because I think it suits you with having installed the trial version, but it wouldn't hurt to confirm it. If it didn't work, it would be 33€ more <:(

Sure you've looked at it again and again, but my opinion is that the FA is quite fair.

Besides, graphic design covers a lot, from photographic composition to 3D infographics. While for the former you only need a processor and hard drive (RAM helps but is not especially relevant), as soon as we get into 3D things get much more expensive, because now we also need RAM and a good graphics card. In both cases, look for a good monitor ("good" in uppercase).
After all, what it's about is not taking half an hour to apply a filter or render a presentation.

@whoololon:

Of the one that Obione has posted I wouldn't know what to tell you, but of the one that ferelxyx has posted I think that it is more than enough.

With 540W at 12V you can power the 4770 and a Titan.

From the ferelxyx budget, I would remove the keyboard + mouse and put a wired one and a gaming mouse, to have enough dpi's and thus improve the issue of nodes and mask selections.
And from the monitor I would go to a semi-professional one, forgetting about the ips leds that are not yet very refined. The leds they use are blue and distort colors. Look at the Eizo IPS non-led that for the quality they give and the price are fabulous (about 350-390€), or some Dell. If you have the patience for the leds there are Eizo led with white leds but prepare your wallet. That said, the warranty is 5 years of replacement, nothing of leaving you without a monitor until it is fixed.
Also, no matter how many monitors you have if you do not calibrate you do nothing. You can bring colors closer, but you will never hit the mark completely.
