That's the link to the computer, is it a good value for money and is it worth getting? ;D
Thanks, Tom.
I will be using editing programs like Sony Vegas, Adobe After Effects etc.

A. Yes but a word of advice, I am big windows user and not really fan of Apple but when it comes to video editing, Windows is horrible for video editing, I have been through many video editing software for windows and have been disappointed constantly. When I was in highschool I got used to using Apple's FinalCut Pro and sometimes (although rarely) iMovie. But Macs are expensive and the price of FinalCut Pro is around the same price of the computer it is running on. But for gaming that computer is great for gaming, just don't expect to run Crysis on high settings (which takes a godly computer to do so). But for games like Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2, you would be able to run those on max settings.

A. Yes it is great. I think the video card could be a bit better like a 270 or 280 but it's still a really nice video card especially with 1gb of built in ram on it.

This is a great computer for gaming so if you were thinking about getting it don't even think dude. This is good for everything you want don't even worry about that as long as you have the money for it.

Q. 1.) Is this a good pc for game capturing and video editing

2.) this pc has no operating system so how will i install one?

A. First off, I cannot tell if "this" computer is good or not for game recording and video editing since you didn't tell me what PC you have. You should be looking for a gaming computer obviously with a sufficient CPU, GPU, and plenty of RAM.

If the PC you have does not have an operating system, you need to go buy one. Or pirate it... whatever floats your boat.

A. I'm not so sure it would be best for video editing, but for gaming, it should be fine. You might have to upgrade the video card though.

What are the best computer hardware components for me?

Q. I'm looking to put together a new computer from scratch and have been researching a lot and just wanted to get a few more opinions. I need a very versatile computer for work, video gaming, and video editing.

Suggestions on video cards, cases, motherboards, processors, cooling systems etc would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

A. Well, the whole point of building a system is saving money, right? You can put together a really decent gaming rig for well under $1000 . As opposed to buying a dell xps for $2000, which won't be any faster in gaming. If you get a dual core processor it will be very versatile for any type of work or entertainment tasks. You should spend $200 on the processor, $150 on the motherboard, $300 or more on the video card(s) and get the most hard drive storage you can get for around $100 and get plextor dvd burner. Get a good brand name of RAM and Power supply. The best value in the processors in the midrange is the Athlon x2.

The most important part is the video card. You could either get 2 ge-force 7900 in sli, or an ati x1900 if you want to keep it simple. SLI is just sexier in my opinion, and it kicks butt.

You decide which is more important for your overall computing: 4GB of RAM or put some of that cash into really great SLI video card solution for better gaming. Make sure you get a good brand power supply that's a true 500 watts or more. All the parts have warranties, so you are not screwing yourself by building it yourself. You are just saving a lot of money, and frankly not getting ripped off.

Original Question

How much should it cost to build a basic computer?

Q. Now I don't do any gaming, video editing, or anything that would require a lot of power. Mainly I would be just converting video files to DVD and burning them, surfing the web, and downloading music. Of course I can just buy a pre-built computer that can do all of this without a problem, but I want to have some kind of computer building experience just for fun. How much do you think I should spend on building a simple rig?

A. I chose some good PC Hardware from Newegg.com for you

ASUS M2N68-AM AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 7050PV Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
$55.99

Hanns·G HB-175APB Black 17" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor
$129.99 -$40.00 Instant save = $89.99

XION II XON-103 Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply
$69.99

ASUS (Dual Panels) IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E818A3 - $19.99

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor 2.0GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor
$35.99

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop
$34.99
-----------------------------------------
Total = $306.94 w. flatscreen

Total = $216.95 w/o flatscreen



These are much better quality hardwares than you can get from any low price prebuilt system like Emachines and whatnot.

You can basically just upgrade the processor to something more powerful should your needs grow. Anything else is solid

What processor would you recommend for intense gaming?

Q. I enjoy a fast computer and want a fast processor for gaming, video editing etc. I really like AMD processors but i would like a fast processor that is under around $175

A. It depends on how fast you want your processor to be and how demanding th game are that you want to be able to play. For $175 you wouldn't be able to get a fast processer but you could get a normal one. If you want a really fast processer for the most demanding games you would be looking at $500 +

Hope I helped :)
Happy new year! :D

What makes a good gaming and video editing laptop?

Q. I am going to college in the fall, so I am in need of a good laptop. According to my parents, it is inevitable that I will be getting a PC around $1,000-1,500. I would prefer HP with Windows 7.

Anyways, I want a laptop that would not only run games well, but also run video editing software well. I want to play games like "Minecraft" and other Steam games on high settings without much lagging. I am going to get Adobe Premeire Pro for video editing.

I now that I need a good dedicated graphics card (ex: NVIDIA) for the games, but that's about it. So, what specifications do I need to look for in a good video gaming and video editing laptop?

Thanks!
@TheTurtleGuy: I'd like to have Alienware, but their laptops are WAY too expensive. And like I said, my parents can only give me a laptop around $1,000 to $1,500. Thanks for your answer, though.

A. Elements of both a good gaming and video editing laptop are quad core cpu, a decent amount of ram (8gb or 16gb recommended), a high end gpu (depending on resolution).

CPU - i7 intel (the mobile i5 cpus are dual core cpus with 2 additional threads)

GPU -
1366x768 resolution max settings - Radeon HD 7850m or Geforce GTX 660m or better (30-40fps+)

1920x1080 max settings - Radeon HD 7970 or Geforce GTX 680m or better (25+fps)

EDIT: Geforce GTX 650m is also good for 1366x768 if you don't mind scaling back some settings like antaliasing or play at 1080p and cut back on antialiasing and some details.

---------------------------

Use this chart to help you pick.

Highlight the games you want to play and go from there.

-------------------------

Btw, although Alienware is solid its very overpriced.

Edit: The dell costs $400 more than the cyberpc similar specs.

Heres a laptop that costs almost the same as Alienware but has a better gpu
(http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer_X6-9500_Gaming_Notebook/)

You can buy more ram or an ssd seperately and install it yourself.
