Dream build

I few months ago I had everything ready to go to build a new PC to get rid of my old hunk of junk. My PC as of right now is a core 2 duo 6400. 2gigs DDR2 memory ATI 9600XT 2 500gig harddrives and 2 1600x900 17in monitors. 500w cooler master PSU.**Edit http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171031 **  212+ CPU cooler. I asked people in the forms for advice and had a pretty rockin system.

Well I was getting ready to purchase said PC parts when the old lady decided to talk me out of it. She said I did not need to spend over $500 American dollars on a PC. She thought it was wasteful spending. I consider it an investment. I have not bought new computer parts in 10 years or so. Now there is no upgrading I have to start out with a new system. **Disclaimer don't hate me** I have been console gaming for 4 years not /dodges flying tomatoes. I really dislike it. I enjoy PC gaming and miss it dearly. One game I am dying to play is Lichdom Battle-mage. I also want to pretty decent computer that can handle Maya, Photoshop, Zbrush, and Mudbox. I don't plan on starting my Youtube career anytime so but it is possible down the road. She kept nagging me now and I have yet to buy 1 single PC part. As well all know it is Tax time in America and if we pay to much to the government through the year we get a pretty nice chunk back. So I told me wife we got our refund back today. I also Showed her a fake Receipt of some parts I "Bought."

here is the PC I built.

She almost killed me, but it got me thinking. If you had money to blow what would you build?

 

Well that certainly is the investment. You don't have a case listed, which did you use? Also, pics would be cool.

*Whooosh*

He didn't really build it. He was joking with his wife by the looks of it.

Back on track now. I'm happy with what I have. Although I could use a brand new r9 390x when it arrives. I guess that's my dream? lol

Yeah was just messing with the wife. freak her out a bit. I Have an old Antec Case I would reuse it is amazing missing some pieces. its beautiful I will take pics of it in the morning.

I think you should go for it first off considering how much use you get out of desk tops these days. I feel that if you were wanting to do all these things that you have mentioned that this system would be able to handle all that and more- cause jeez that's a lot of storage.

I think if your wife see things from this angle she would come around. Good luck.
