I have previously bough Dell computers but the price quoted this time seemed a bit OTT so I thought I would try here. I want it for games (but not primary role and could not strech to the cost of high end gaming), photo and video editing, home entertainment (e.g. HD movies) and multitasking. I want it to be future proof (don’t want to start adding bits for many years) and quiet. Not sue I have the memory and graphic cards optimised to the CPU (I just kept adding things till I got to the price I was going to pay with Dell). Any advice welcome as never really considered what went in the desktop before just ordered future proof high spec previously.
