I need to get the kids a computer. My 12yo son has a dated dell laptop, but it's time to get him something he (and his 8yo twin siblings) can work on with a little more power.
I used to build my own machines on a regular basis (20+ years ago), so I'm comfortable with putting them together. I am just WAY behind on the tech these days. I'm thinking the video card (not using an onboard) and the memory are going to be a major drivers here. My cursory googling has lead me here as I can't process any of it...
Aside from the basics it will primarily will be used for all things art. Drawing, animation, video editing, short movies. It will need to support the Adobe Creative suite. Likely some gaming as well (Minecraft/Fortnite type stuff)
Budget in the sub 1.5k range would great. A little more if splurging on a nice monitor (or possibly duals). Thanks
edit: I should mention SoSH was great in helping me build my last PC (which was a little more basic than this one).
