I need help in buying/building a new PC. My budget and requirements are as follows:
1. I myself have built systems and know how to do it. I want input on current high performance, good value components;
2. Thinking of going for a SSD -for OS & a WD Black 1TB or 500GB drive to Data Storage.
3. The work involves creating 3D plans for a building, structure and use V-ray and other tools/ plugins( I am not expert in design or any kind of Adobe software, I am passing this info from my cousin) to add textures etc.
the expectation is the system should be stable.Stable = the system that does the job without hangs , delay ( taking too much time to do the job). Does not have to keep tinkering with hardware to fix issues such as harddrive failures which inturn in data loss....I cannot be anymore specific than this about the kind of usage for this system ..probably I will get it from cousin later.
Should I go for Custom Built or pre-built / Branded ones like HP, Lenovo, Dell etc?
