Hi all.
I bought a new custom desktop PC from PC Specialist back in 2014. I wasn't sure exactly what i needed so i asked for help here to configure my PC. Would it be possible for someone to help me with the spec again please?
I'm looking at getting a new PC as i'm still running WIN7 Home & after 8 years i feel it's time for an upgrade.
My current PC is:
Processor: AMD FX 6350 Six-Core Processor 3.90GHz
RAM: 16gb
System: 64-bit Operating System
Hard Drive Storage: 2tb
My total price range would be up to a maximum of £2000. I would need to get a new monitor with tilt (my current monitor doesn't tilt & gives me neck ache) & no smaller than 24" so this would need to be included in the price. I don't need a keyboard or mouse.
I'm not completely sure what i need but i'm looking for a more powerful PC/upgrade on my current PC.
I really like the Corsair cases with the 3 multi-coloured fans so i would like to start with one of these cases.
Windows 11 as i'm still using Windows 7
Not sure whether to choose Intel or AMD again?
I would like Microsoft Office if it's a one-off payment. I don't want to be paying each month for something i only occasionally use. I only really used Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
I'm into my music production (FL Studio etc) so need a PC best suited to running all the VST's & sample packs.
I have a large collection of Music & Photos. I spend most of my time collecting music & taking photos, so i need plenty of storage space. I need plenty of USB sockets (maybe 8 or 10) as i have 4 external hard drives & i have a wireless keyboard & mouse.
I also need an internal card reader as i use this for the memory cards in my camera & my ZX Spectrum Vega
I don't need a gaming PC as i no longer play games. The only games i play are Forge Of Empires & other free online games from Addicting games etc.
I watch a lot of movies/videos online & i have Netflix so i want a PC best suited to streaming videos.
I would like a 4tb internal hard drive for storage (Western Digital if possible as i've always used these) otherwise a 2tb will be fine
I think that's all i needed to mention? If i have missed something, please ask?
I really hope someone is able to help me configure a PC & any help is very much appreciated.
Many thanks
Darren
