Well.... That depends on what you want to do, and how adventurous you are. Windows 10 has been out for a couple of years but it is a radical departure from what you have seen before in Windows 7. My first recommendation would be don't get too blitzed by the commercials and the hype and news surrounding new technologies and the new systems even though I think you should buy the new Multi-core processor Computer. This hype is here today, will be here next month, and you can bet next year. My other piece of advise is to not to look at the cheap loss leaders as well. You do get what you pay for. So think about what you really want to do with your computer and what follows are some suggestions of things to think about.
The Business Computer | Typical Home User | Graphics Designer | Game Player |
You need to do some word processing, Connect to email, connect to the local area network, budgets, presentations, research, and business tools and you want it kept to a minimum ? | Budgets to do, homework, group newsletter, internet mail and chat, some fun games, greeting cards, mailing lists, keep good records, maybe watch a movie, and not spend a bundle. | Need to be able to blend photos, colors, and images for logos, presentations, and poster design. Page layouts for annual reports and publications and brochures. | Blinding speed, constant motion, and graphics capable of distinguishing 20,000 shades of red to keep up with the challengers. |
Intel Core i5-8600 Quad 3.2 Gig 32GB RAM 2TB Hard Drive DVD Drive Local Area Network Connection Integrated Graphics & Sound 24 inch LCD Monitor Windows 10 Pro |
Intel Core i5-8400 2.8Ghz |
Intel Core i7-9700 8 Core 3.6 Ghz 32 GB RAM 1 TB SSD Drive DVD Drive Network Card nVidia Graphics Card Dual 24 inch Wide Screen Monitor Network attached Storage Windows 10 Pro |
Intel Core i9 9960XExtreme Edition. 32GB RAM Solid State Hard Drive DVD Drive Home Theater Surround Card Viewsonic 38 inch curved Monitor nVidia GForce RTX 2080 Windows 10 Pro |
Things to keep in mind are what you will be running on the computer. Games take up the most resources especially the jet fighter games where there is constant motion, sound, and even movie clips. You will also find that the difference in prices between hard drives is not much. Check on them. Windows will support the memory and if you have any extra dollars available, sink it into memory.
So, now you are ready, call me and let me build your computer.
