Question

buying a pc

Mar 4, 2016 7:25AM PST

Hello there I am having trouble figuring what pc I need as I don't know that much about the technical side of computers, but basically I am starting a games development course in the summer and I would like to buy a desktop pc which can handle the rendering, modelling and all the other stages of animation/ games development. If you could help me out that would be great. Thanks.

Such courses usually have PCs to use in class and during labs. And today's major games are no longer just one person at one big PC. So ask your instructor if this is needed.
