(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); First off, I'm going to say sorry if this is the wrong section. If it is, please have it moved. :carling:

Anyway, onto the topic.

I'm buying a new computer.

I want it to be a desktop, with a budget of under $1000. (This isn't including the monitor. I got that already, but I could really use a new one. :/ so cheaper the desktop is, the more likely i can get the monitor.

How I plan to use this computer;

To do regular browsing the internet.
Using Sony Vegas (Rendering videos, such as commentaries)
Photoshop
A little bit of gaming (Mostly like Starcraft 2)
Uploading to youtube
Watching Youtube
Music (iTunes)

And, after I've been looking for quite some time, these are a few I have found:

Which one do you think would be the best for me? If you also find one you'd recommend, tell me what it is!

Thanks!

Try customizing one on this site: (forgot link lol). There I made this awsome computer for like $800.

First two are not bad for the price.

I would recommend not buying a Gateway... Just my opinion.

That system was about $1,080 and claims that you could run MW2 at 46 FPS. So, you might be able to get a powerful custom PC. I don't have much experience with custom PC's since I have a Mac but maybe you should check them out.

I was thinking about the custom route, but when I looked at it, with what I want, it would be cheaper to buy one pre-done and upgrade as I need. (The graphics cards, etc. )

And with that computer, it has pretty close to the same specs as the FX6850 that I put up there. But the FX is $180 cheaper.

Thanks for the reply!

gatewayysss FTWWW sonnn

Why would you say this?

Hmmm the 3rd one

Get a Mac!
