Hey everyone—my fiancée and I are currently on the hunt for the perfect band for our wedding. So far, we’ve been really drawn to Kocka Band and that group Boss.
I was wondering if anyone here has actually attended a wedding where they were the headliners? I'm trying to get a realistic sense of what kind of budget we should be looking at for their services.
My apologies—I accidentally double-posted that earlier. My bad.
Hey everyone, I'm looking to put together a PC with a budget somewhere around $5,500–$5,700.
I’ve been going back and forth between a laptop and a desktop—ultimately, the screen size won the argument for me. While I realize a laptop offers that sweet portability for moving from place to place, I decided a desktop is the way to go simply because I want a proper monitor, plus the upgrade path feels much less painful than trying to swap parts in a cramped laptop chassis. My daily driver will handle general browsing, movies, and gaming, but I also need it to run Adobe software (Photoshop, Lightroom, Photomatix, etc.), so my main priority is picking up a monitor with an IPS panel.
The plan is to buy everything and assemble it myself for my future build. I’ve already sketched out a rough list in my head, so please feel free to correct me or suggest better alternatives if you think I'm missing the mark. Or, if this looks solid, just let me know.
Here is what I have so far:
AOC I2476VWM 23.6", IPS, 5ms, Full HD, VGA/HDMI$363
Intel Core i5-6400 (2.7GHz, 6MB, LGA1151) box$483
8 GB, G.SKILL Value DDR4 2133MHz$127
ASUS Main board desktop B150 (S1151, DDR4, USB3.1, SATA III, DVI, Audio, LAN) mATX Retail$142
MSI Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GDDR5 4GB/128bit, 1210MHz/7000MHz, PCI-E 3.0 x16, DP, HDMI, DVI-D, Sleeve Fan Cooler(Double Slot) Retail$355
Seagate BarraCuda 1TB HDD, 64MB, 7200rpm, High-Performance$130
Kingston UV400 120GB SSD, 2.5” 7mm, SATA 6 Gbit/s$118
Cooler Master Z1, USB3.0 black, 2x120mm$93

Hey, thanks a million. Honestly, I couldn’t care less about Photoshop... my focus is strictly on Lightroom
Thanks again
I don't have any restrictions here. And honestly, it doesn't even need to be an All-in-One
In my opinion, you can put together a much better desktop setup along with a solid Dell
I'm currently based in the States, though I do have family living over in Germany
So, let me ask—is it actually possible to build a high-quality configuration paired with a nice monitor if we're looking at a budget of $7,000 to $8,000?
Hey everyone—I’ve recently started diving into photography, and honestly, after poking around some dedicated photography forums, I didn't walk away with much actual help. So, since I'm a bit beyond the absolute "day one" beginner stage now, I'm looking to put together a workstation specifically for photo editing. Ideally, I'd love to find an All-in-One setup if such a thing exists for my needs... though if that proves to be a dead end, I'm perfectly fine with a standard desktop tower sourced from our local market here in the States.
My budget is hovering somewhere around the $800 mark—$3333and frankly, I don't care where it comes from; whether it's a local shop or just grabbing something off Amazon, I'm open to it.
I've had my eye on a couple of specific models lately:
