PC Question

Post by Metallifreak »

Hey dudes, I'm thinking about an new PC now. Thing is, I don't play any games on it. I just need it to write emails, surfing in the internet, burning DVDs and possibly start working with Sony Vegas and DVD Architect. So I have found 3 PCs so far, all between 700-850 Euros. But not sure, which one to grab. So what do you think???

1st PC:
Intel Core i7-2600 Processor, 3.4 GHz, 1000GB HDD, 4GB DDR-3RAM, nVidia GeForce GT350 with 1024MB, DVD Multiburner, USB 3.0 [2 on frontside, 4 on backside], MidiTower * € 693.00

2nd PC:
Intel Core i7 Processor, 3.4 GHz, 1000GB HDD, 6GB DDR-3RAM, nVidia GeForce GT620 with 1024MB, DVD Multiburner, USB 3.0 [2 on frontside, 6 on backside], MidiTower * € 719.00

3rd PC:
Intel Core i7 Processor, 3.4 GHz, 2000GB HDD, 8GB DDR-3RAM, nVidia GeForce GTX550Ti with 1024MB, DVD Multiburner, USB 3.0 [2 on frontside, 4 on backside], MidiTower * € 819.00

I know, for a lot of you guyz, those PCs won't be enough, but as I said, I don't play games on it. I just need it for common use. Thanx for any suggestions.

For what you'll need a PC - I think 1st PC is good, the main difference between 1st and 3rd is 1-2TB HDD if you need from HDD space 3rd is better but you can upgrade your new PC with more HDD space at any time, in this case you save € 120 and in future when HDD prices down you can buy only new HDD.

Take the 3rd choice. You will like having more ram for video editing :D not to mention space on a bigger hd!

3rd is the best! But if you don't play games, then you don't need pay the expensive Grafik, the 1st or the 2nd PC is will be enough.

I have now nVidia GeForce GT 230, 1024 MB and don't paly games, it's fully enough for me, for BD and for other things. But RAM is small, I would take minimum 6GB, but you can upgrade your PC everytime ;)

those 2 get cheaper and cheaper with time, when he run out of them, then he can buy more.
