Hi guys,
A friend of mine is looking for me to build a PC for him, and he hasn't had an upgrade for years, so trying to get the best possible machine for his budget.
What I have put together so far is as follows from PCPartsPicker, but would like to know what to change to get the best performing box, and any changes to reduce cost so he can spend on software etc.
What are your thoughts ? What should be changed ? Are there any single stores that would price match this so I don't have to order from 10 stores etc ?
General requirements: 6 x multi monitor, multi purpose machine, gaming + research (machine learning, virtual machines, crypto etc) + large format web browsing, large hoarding capacity (RAID1 or other for redundancy), $6500 budget, dual DVD writer (yes, I know it's odd, but he specifically asked for it), and as quiet as possible.
Cheers,
Damien
