art friends... i build my own pc from parts i buy. i know almost nothing about computers. i have only done one full rebuild in 10 years, i just swap out parts sometimes. you can build within any budget. here are resources:
- basic build video
pcpartpicker.com not every part fits every motherboard or even case. check your parts against this website, or even pick a build and buy all the parts from here
newegg.com where i buy parts from.
you can also buy used parts from ebay (be careful with that though i've never done it) and you can buy em off amazon.
A computer has never cost me over 1500$. you can build something for under 1000$ that will run photoshop/Clip studio/illustrator perfectly fine and you can even play some games on it. Mac's just a name. it's not needed to make good art. don't break the bank for it. 💖
bonus: you feel like such a badass the first time you turn it on and all works. you're like I DID THIS. I MADE THIS COMPUTER WITH MY BARE HANDS (by following a video and a bunch of websites but STILL)
also i don't want anyone to think this is a pc vs. mac debate thing because those are exhausting and they're both good computers. this is solely budgetary. if it's not in your budget, building a pc is an option! if you have budget and you like the apple computers, awesome!
