Hi. I'd like a couple of ideas for a PC that can keep up with me!
I tend to multitask, several programmes running at any time, loads of open tabs running on Chrome. At the same time running video editing or conversion/encoding, whilst watching Netflix or movies, using Office as well.
I mostly use Cyberlink PowerDirector / Adobe Premiere Elements for video editing and Handbrake for converting my BluRays. I do more and more 4k video editing and will probably start buying/converting UHD blurays for my media server (separate NAS). An ancient version of Photoshop is used for photo editing. The system will need to be able to output to 2 x 4k monitors with ease. Possible future music production.
Occasional gaming, although my sons are getting older and may progress from driving games to far more demanding games in future.
My current PCs are 8 and 6 years old as I have been able to upgrade parts now and again (eg RAM, SSD, graphics card). So I'll be looking at some future proofing with upgradeability in future.
2 max budgets currently under consideration: 1) up to £1200 and 2) up to £1500 inc VAT.
Also, am I able to add my own hardware (eg BD writer, additional HDDs) without annulling my warranty?
Thanks
