OK .. after recent thread I started on PC...upgrade, and the storm of emails on s/ware
Decided that I will not upgrade that PC to W7 but leave as is on VISTA and donate it as new family PC ... and build myself a new one, last time I did this you had to sit there feeding in floppy disks to load DOS and then same for Windows 3.1 .. this was around 1993
Last few PC's have been package builds bought from Dell.
This time I want to build up again, and it now seems that once again you can get better performance & spec for same cost, it did go the other way.
Some basics are that I will use an ASUS mother board .. but no idea whether to go Intel or AMD Probably Quad core .. I'll put in a pair of 500GB HDD (have a 2TB DNS drive already)
4 GB at least of RAM nVidia Geoforce GPU (probably GTX 500 series) Need USB 2 & firewire connectivity Maybe a video capture card Windows 7Use is general business work, video editing, Photoshop ........not into gaming. If anybody has any recommended sites for current PC specs / or build your own recommendations .. please let me know.
Also if anybody cares to recommend processor, motherboard or graphics card choice happy to learn.
