Hello....new to the forum.
I am an administrator at a forum board dedicated to workshop type stuff.
I cover all of the photoshop needs and have started getting into taking videos of tool reviews that I edit and then upload to youtube.
My old computer is a dell and dates back abour 7 or 8 years ago. It has a 40 gig hard drive (Killing me) has 1 gig of RAM (killing me) and is slow. Did I mention that it is killing me.
It is taking me about 35 minutes to render a 7 minute video and this is killing me.
For the sake of my sanity, I need to upgrade and I am in need of help. I have never looked into computers for the purpose of drealing with video.
Here is the catch. I need to try to keep the cost down between $500 and $600.
I don't know enough about the new processors, hard drive speeds, or graphic cards to make an educated buy. I have always had dells in the past, but I don't need to this time.
I would look at a laptop, but to tell you the truth, I don't like typing on them and I don't want to have to plug a keyboard into it everytime that I use it.
Right now, I am leaning toward a dell XPS 8300 from the Dell outlet center.
Any advice/suggestions you can give would be great.
