:< That's too bad, are you gonna get something more powerful and try again sometime?

Yes I am, but I'm gonna have to write a loooooooooot of commissions to raise the $5000+ for my dream laptop. Join my livestream again for some naughty writing, it works with simple writing. On "mobile" streaming.

Yay for desktops lol

I like desktops. Ones with multi screens, a high multi core proccessor, big HDD or SDD.... I actually found one fully customised to my insane speculations with four 6gb video cards, 64GB RAM, two 3TB HDD's, 2 512gb SSDs, two Blu-Ray drives, a custom paintjob, etc.... $20,000+

Oh pfff, you'd be shocked at how few resources consumer level programs use; getting something half as powerful as that would be a massive waste of money. :P Sure, if you want something pointlessly powerful, and extremely well made with outstanding support, get yourself a BOXX. But, otherwise, build your own, and keep in mind there are reasons why you don't see these kinds of specs in informed enthusiast's builds. For example, 3TB drives are extremely unreliable because of the high platter count, it maximizes the potential for one platter to fail, taking the whole drive down. RAM sticks over 4 GB are also ill advised, because desktop motherboards aren't really designed to handle that much constant throughput yet, and putting higher density sticks into a single slot can burn the slots out faster. Also, total RAM over 8 GB will not show benefit in real world usage unless you're doing intensive tasks, like working with huge Photoshop files, (large resolution, hundreds-thousands of layers) or complex 3D scenes.

Also remember to overbuy heavily on the PSU. If you're feeling spendy, a 1000-1200W 80+ Platinum would be excellent, just keep in mind you want a single 12v rail, Japanese capacitors, active PFC, and it MUST be rated for continuous power, not peak power. Usually the amperes per rail will work out fine when you overbuy, but it might be safe to put the parts through a calculator that will tell you the estimated amperes per rail, and then compare it to the PSU's specs. Another thing to keep in mind, faster speeds on RAM also have no real world impact, stick to 1333 for compatibility and lower prices. Also, if you can afford to, get a Lian-Li case, or something else made of all aluminum, with a good airflow layout. Aluminum cases disperse heat better, look better imo, and are very lightweight. If you plan on OCing, get at least a Noctua NH-C14, it'll keep the temperatures down to ridiculously low levels, and prolong the CPU's lifespan. My Phenom II X6, at 4 Ghz, idles around 25C, and under normal load only gets into the mid 30s. At stock 3.3Ghz, idles between 12-15C and maxes out at 20. :P

...And please don't buy an Alienware @__@ They're designed to break right after the warranty period, get ungodly hot, and have constant driver and lockup problems from what I hear. Doesn't surprise me though, Dell's never had a reputation for good hardware or reliability. :P

Hope some of this helps in any way. :3

Ho......ly shit. You REALLY know what you're taking about! *is now completely clueless abouf more than half of what you said*

Oh <__< sorry...if you want, I can just put together a wishlist and send it to you :P It really depends on what you're trying to do with it, but with my next build, it's got roughly enough power to run multiple (at least 6 Minecraft and 2 TF2) servers, and play the corresponding game at the same time without lagging either, or run Photoshop or Maya to the extent I use them without lagging. (editing high res, low layer images for a photographer, and doing character modeling)

So, if you wanted something of similar power, I could base the list off my own. :P I don't know what you want for storage, but in the wishlist, I have 4 1TB Western Digital RE4s (enterprise drives, cost more, are meant to run 24/7 reliably in server RAID, have lifetime warranty, and for non-enterprise applications, they should last forever :P) and 2 Intel Cherryville SSDs, one 120GB for my boot drive, and a 240GB for streaming photos when I'm editing them, and samples when I'm making music. I would definitely recommend the SSD for the boot drive, but I'm not sure how much benefit the second SSD would provide you, only you could answer that. :P

Also, I have an ungodly expensive S-IPS monitor meant for graphic design (highly accurate color reproduction) in the wishlist, so I should probably remove that, unless you like overkill. But it's ~$1200, so...yeah take your pick on that one. It IS a 30" 2560x1600 though. :P But keep in mind, that will eat up a good bit of the GPU's clock cycles and VRAM.

I just pared the list down a bit, took out the monitor, 240GB SSD and 2 1TB drives. That will come to ~ $2,740 if you live in a state where Newegg doesn't have to charge tax, and need to buy a new copy of Windows 7 for it. Give or take for shipping though, and you might want a flashier case, in which event, that will most likely halve the cost of the case. (It's full tower, full aluminum, and $400 lol) But I wouldn't recommend using a mid tower, there's always a chance that the graphics card wont fit in them.

That's like Alienware on steroids ~,~
