Q. Lately I have been thinking about building a computer rig. I decided to use a forum post to do so.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
Programming. - Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft Office 2012, Compiling, Graphics, Adobe Master's Collection ( Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks ). Very very little gaming will be done. This rig is not intended to be a gaming rig.
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM / sellers? If not- why?
Yes
3. What is your MAX budget?
3000 dollars
4. Planning to overclock?
Maybe. I heard that overclocking on processors wear them down. Don't know if it's good to overclock.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
Windows 7 Professional
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
2 TB
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want?
If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
Screen resolution: 2560 x 1440 WQHD, 27 inch
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
8
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Done by an assembler
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
3 week
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
No
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
i3 and i5 processors
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
USA and want to buy parts in the USA

A. $3000 is beyond overkill for such a machine. However, it sounds like this is a business machine and therefore I suggest you buy a business class workstation from a Tier 1 manufacturer because you don't want to be troubleshooting stuff by yourself while your money-making computer is down. you want to call someone and have them send the replacement part overnight.
If you insist on building, i'd suggest nix327's build from here
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/toms-hardware-bestconfigs-build-a-pc,3453-3.html
but replace the i3 with an i7-3770 (not the K version since you won't be overclocking) and upgrade the 64GB SSD to the 256GB Samsung 840 in the other build. You'll still be well below $1000 so invest in a nice monitor, maybe one of the 27" 1440p models since I know developers like their real estate space. The onboard GPU in the i7 is more than enough to power that resolution for software development and the occasional flash based game.

What is a good,cheap gaming laptop to run arma 2 operation arrowhead?
Q. My Mom got a computer for about $300 from wal-mart around Christmas of 2012,and it can run aram 2 on high settings with very little lag by myself on editor mode.Campaign can lag,and multiplayer mostly lags a little unless there is alot of people.She has a computer with windows 8,so I do not know how to check the system settings and what I have,but my Dad said that the place where he bought my $100 Dell Latitude D420 at makes custom computers.I want a computer that I can afford($0-$400please) that can run Operation Arrowhead great,just a gaming computer.
A. Something that increases your FPS significantly will be turning ALL of your video settings plus advanced to as low as it can go, or even disabled.
I know, it will ruin the graphics, NOPE.
Te game still looks great, you'll get used to it aft awhile..
Yu can probably play if you put your settings to medium/low, since my CPU has way worse specs and it can run on low settings.
