Hi all,
I'm a business analyst specialising in data analytics and am looking for a new PC or potentially hackintosh build. I've got upto £1,200 to spend (but by no means do I need to go that high) on a tower which is to be used daily on Tableau (analytics software) along with photoshop. I do a little video editing (1080 raw footage) from time to time so support for this would be handy to - I don't game at all (unless you call championship manager 01/02 gaming!).
I've done a little research and I'm looking to go down the route of an i7 6700k as it looks like great bang for your buck. I'll pair this with 16gb or 32gb of RAM, 256GB SSD and 2TB HD. I have no idea when it comes to graphics - I produce audio, but this will be run from an interface and recorded elsewhere (although I may edit from this machine with headphones).
I've looked at the build below, which seems pretty good - any suggestions of other equipment I should consider? Should I look at 2nd hand Xeon processor for this type of work? I'll be overclocking the processor a little to!
