Hey day to all and to all a sunny day
So my brother has my old comp and that has finally given up the day it is willing to run. As he is a starving student that is going to school in Davenport, Iowa. He loves photography and playing with CS5. I have tried getting the cost down to what is affordable for a comp that has to run CS5. I personally dont use CS5, but my buddy uses it as well and that I have built a comp for. Since I know the computer has to be powerful to run CS5, I am having trouble building my brother a computer that can run CS5 without a hitch, and keeping the price down that is also affordable. I have come up with 3 different builds. The cheapest I can come up with is $1484.96. He would like to see it cheaper, but I dont know if that it is possible. Here is what I came up with at that price point:
Intel i7-4790K
Evga GTX970 SSC
Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark S (white mobo)
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR3 1866Mhz Dual Channel
I dont really wanna go 8 gig of ram cause all that use CS5 know how demanding it is. More ram the better for CS5.
So what am I really asking help for? I am asking for all that know CS5 or know of it to help me design a computer for my brother at a decent price. The other two builds I did was priced at $1498.43 and $1879.96.
For you all wondering what his old computer was, here it is:
Asus Striker ii Formula
Mushkin 8 Gig DDR2. Speed, I forget.
Asus 6600 GPU
Intel 775 processor. Model, I forget.
Thanks all for the help.
Cheers,
Brad
