Hi everyone

I am looking into building my own pc for work and playing games.
I am currently training to become a games artist/animator and i need a new pc as i am currently using a laptop which isn't ideal as i need to have it plugged in constantly.
The programmes i will be using include 3ds max, maya, mudbox and photoshop. Also i would like to be able to play games such as skyrim and mass effect on high settings if possible.

I have a few questions as well, as i have never attempted to build a pc before (and i don't want to buy another dell :rolleyes:

hi thanks for the reply

sorry if i posted this in the wrong place :/

the budget isn't really set yet, but the build i have posted is probably the maximum i could go to.
so far the laptop has been ok but it is difficult to use a tablet and it struggle when it comes to 3d rendering.

I did speak to an It technician about building my computer and he suggested the i7 and plenty of RAM, the only reason i don't really want him to build it is that he only uses dell and i don't really want to have to buy another whole computer in a couple of years.
