Hi all, I've got a budget of a grand to spend (40th birthday present!!) on a new computer. I'm not a serious gamer but when I do play I want it to look the part. I also edit videos with Premiere Pro and After Effects so I need my new PC to be able to handle that particularly well if possible. With that in mind I'd love some advide if I'm choosing the right system below. I've got some spare SATA drives I was going to use for storage in the new pc so I'm not really bothered about buying extra hard drives at this point and I'm happy to use onboard sound for now I think. Unless someone suggests a better setup which allows for a sound card in the spec. The reason I've gone for the case I'e chosen is because it has a firewire port at the front which would be handy for video uploading.
IS THIS THE BEST SYSTEM FOR MY BUCK OR SHOULD i HAVE TWO GRAPHICS CARDS AND A LESSER CPU FOR EG??? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
