Any suggestions based on the following needs much appreciated, this is a new post as my previous build was AMD, I changed over to Intel...
build for multitasking/photo video editing/remote desktop/etc.
want fast boot (don't want to pay for ssd), fast system... not sure if this video card is what i need or not... i don't really care to pay much more than 100 bucks as i don't game much at all, perhaps i'll try it out in the future sometime.
Thanks!
