(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!

Yes, that is a great computer. Not much more, except a better (way better... ) graphics card, but I can probably get one for less than $200 if I wanted to upgrade it.

Agreed?

And thanks for the reply. Help is great.

I work on computers for a living, personally I have seen more Gateways then almost any other computer. Its always something wrong with the parts.

I recommended you customize your computer at You must login or register to view this content. it is cheaper then CyberPower, and better. I have 3 computers that I have purchased from ibuypower. Never have had a problem with them.

If you do chose to get a computer from ibuypower, you should look into AMD processors they are way better then Intell's.

My recommendation for a really good computer depends on what you want to do with it, let me know and Ill help you out. Smile

I've had a Gateway before, and it was complete and utter trash.
