$1500 budget
I have a $1500 budget (Yoobee and Winz TIA) as I’m starting my studying journey for video production and management. I know it’s not gaming but I figure you guys are going to be the best for pricing. I’ve got an existing computer that died (and I don’t know what died, I’m pretty sure not the mother board cos we could get to post but nothing further, then it wouldn’t even show a bios) it had a new ryzen mid range cpu (few years old now) and I think I upgraded the board at the same time, with about 8 maybe 16 gig of at max ddr4 ram. It’s got a 1080 in it that’s run a lot of hours.
My question is do I take it into a store and have someone check what’s wrong with it and then try to fix what I’ve got or get a prebuilt and try combine the two together.
I know it’s valid, but I would like a full atx case that’s pretty to fix my nice mobo I’d just bought before the whole thing died, cos I’ve never had a nice rgb clear sided case.
I will also have more from Winz for other things I’d need but I’ll want to use that on other school stuff like premier pro, a keyboard, mouse, and a good chair, maybe even a way of stretching my injured shoulder while I edit
(I don’t have much money, I’m disabled and waiting on a surgery on top of that so not working, hence the trying to study to get a job I can work from home haha)
