Help Me Decide

[Asiankid0]

I am debating which computer to buy...I am not looking for a crazy gaming computer, just something I can use to do schoolwork (as in CGI-animations and modeling) and play casual games from time to time. I picked out 4 from the cyberpowerpc.com website....but due to my lack of computer hardware knowledge...I'm stuck. Which one out of all 4 of those are the best cost-effective desktop that I can get? Let me know~ thanks in advance.

There is a section, it's called
The tech section.
(Subsection of general @general you'll find it up top.)

It's for stuff like this, just for future consideration.

Also @going SLI: One good card can own a less powerful SLI system, as long as games aren't explicitly made for SLI.
You will pay up for a most likely not much better performance, but less long-liveth of the system, because of weaker cards.

I concur, if you want to have fluid 3D animation, you might as well get a hardcore gaming computer. it'll have everything you need. (Besides all the accessories you use when modeling)

None. Custom build yours. Check the people at overclock.net for help. Greatest tech forum for computers ever. You'll get a MUCH better computer for the same price if you custom build and its very easy
