New Desktop PC needed

[Upatdawn]

Its sad but this PC is coming to the end of its life, we have had some good times, some bad too, but hey ho, tempus fugit, etc...

I need photo editing, so plenty of RAM and a decent graphics card, but i dont do any serious online gaming as our BB is slowwwwwwwwwwww

any links?

cheers

Want a teeny tiny one? Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny (my choice at present)

Just want bang for your buck? Dell Outlet.

When I upgraded last year I moved over to the dark side and bought a 21.5"" iMac. If your budget can stretch to it, the 27" 5K iMac is an excellent machine.

Do you have a budget? Anything to carry over? OS? Mouse and Keyboard? Want a monitor too? Do you want to game or will it be a pure work machine? Details man!

im going to spec up and build one soon

[Upatdawn]

I have a new LCD screen and keyboard/mouse and a budget of about £250 unless i go in hard on finance......lol

[MissChief]

£250 really won't get you a lot of bang for you buck. Some graphics cards cost that much!

if you have a decent screen already buy a Mac Mini and leave behind the dogst hell of Windows 8

I'd agree with this. There's nothing you need a PC/Windows for that a Mac can't do, usually better. Unless you need to run some obscure piece of software for some reason that's only available on PC ?

Wifes got a laptop with Win8, she shouts at it a lot

The hardest thing id do is photo editing

Fast graphics card and plenty of ram I think was the requirement, I wouldnt even say an iMac was worth going there. Also on a small budget and macs are luxury items with corespondingly high prices.

[Who me ?]

Try some of the big name hardware places for a bundle deal without memory ,so you can pick your own. ( Novatech/Aria/overclockers.co.uk spring to mind). Might save you enough to get a decent graphics card. OH and an upgraded PSU ,as some graphics cards eat power.
