I am looking to 'build' a custom PC for myself. Well actually ... Dell will build it but I choose the parts and I just want to know if the specs are good enough for my needs. (Price not great of an issue but a little cheaper would be better - if it can be done!).
Usage of PC:
- I use Torrent Sites
- Use Nero and ConvertX2DVD (practically all day on somedays)
- Use Photoshop and video editing
- Internet, msn and other general tasks like office etc.
- A few games
- MAIN - Use it for watching movies (avis, mkv, h.264 files) (My current laptop cannot play h.264 files with ease, i want something that will play it as second nature)
- USe to store my media library - currently about 400GB (on external 1TB)
- Would want to store, play and burn blueray files in the future
The Specs that I have chosen atm are from Dells website. And the Dell Studio XPS (not put the price on).
£1250 for a PC with an HD4850 in it. Interesting, it's not bad for gaming, but it won't be able to play every game out there for years to come. Overall it'll be a fast, reliable PC though, and it will excel at video editing.
