New build - under $900
Hey
Looking to do a first time build. Location: Ireland Budget: €600 (little under $900) OS: Windows OS preferably, need some advice about whether to go straight in for Windows 7. I have no brand loyalty so will build with whatever is best recommended. Mainly the computer will be used for: Net browsing, Microsoft office type programs, but will also be using dreamweaver, Sony Vegas and Photoshop from time to time. My gaming habits consist mostly of strategy type games such as civilization. I also do the occasional bit of cd ripping, movie encoding, but only once every so often. Multitasking capabilities would be great as I like browsing the net while playing one of my favourite games (football manager). I don't intend to overclock this machine, but would like it to be as future proofed as possible for the budget I am on. I'd be happy with storage around 150gb (or less even) as I've no problem storing all my media files on a external HD which I already have. Finally I already have this monitor and a good wireless logitech mouse so the only other peripheral I need is a keyboard, wireless if possible, any recommendations on this would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks in advance for any suggestions on a recommended build. |

Limited time on this end, had to go real fast, and try and work at the same time. And now I'm out of time.
