New Computer Needed

Hey folks, I’ve gotten to a point that I need to get a new computer to do my Photoshop work on. Sadly to get something that is on par with what I’m used to working on will come in at $950. This is not currently in my budget at all and I’ll need to raise the money on Paypal. As this will currently help out on not just the production of drawings and the comic, but help toward the creation of my next animated short, anyone who donates $50 or more will get their name included on a special Thank You section in the credits for the animated short. Thanks so much in advance, and I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season so far! ^_^
UPDATE: Goal was reached!! Thank you so much to all who’ve helped out! *big hugs*
I did add some computer furniture to my wish list that would be very helpful if anyone is in the position to help out with. It’s the top stuff on the list marked “highest”. I’ll include your name in the thank you part of the animation credits if the items are $50+ just like with the fundraiser.
I’m hopeful of donating *something*, but I’m kinda pressed for time tonight. See you tomorrow.
Done, if I did it right.
Thank you much! ^_^
You’re welcome
Never mind the computer, are YOU feeling better Paul ?
Feeling better than I have in a while, but still pretty run down. Thanks for asking. ^_^ *hugs*
Dunno what you need for specs, but I just spun down several of my older beefy machines to save on the power bill. Wouldn’t be the first time one of my retirees went to an artist in need. XD
I purchased the computer already, the only thing that I couldn’t get as I wanted (they were suddenly out of stock) was the GPU. It’s best in Blender to have over 8gb of VRAM for rendering complex scenes.
I think the beefiest thing I have floating around is an original GTX Titan. :/
I added the card that would work best with blender (the key being the Vram being over 8gb) to my wish list. It might be a while before I could get that. Sadly computerers even with fast cards don’t normally have the card with Vram higher than 8gb. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/35U7MKIS0CA3O
