Hello and hey there.
Need some advice please - I am reasonable with computers but more software than hardware as never really had the need to know but the time has come that I need a new PC and I am kind of learning on the hoof...
I'll keep it brief and hope someone can point me in a good direction.
My needs are:
- Budget £300 - no monitor needed
- Powerful to process large RAW files fast and well - I have just received quite a few wedding gigs over the next year and need an upgrade to process large amounts of large photo files without fuss - therefore reasonable size HDD as well
- Reasonable graphics card to get started in to PC gaming
- Windows 7 64bit pref
- Easy to upgrade. Basically what I am looking for is something that I can spend money on over the next few months to build up to a decent spec PC with minimal fuss.
I am happy with refurb comps - in fact these are what I have been looking at most. The one that I am leaning toward is: Dell XPS 720 Gaming Ready System Core 2 Duo 1.86Ghz/8GB RAM/500GB HDD/DVD-RW/8800GTX/Win 7 Pro
Is this a good set-up and easy to upgrade? Can anyone point me in a better direction?
Sorry these are complete noob qs but hey - got to start somewhere and where better than with some good advice.
Cheers - Jimbo
