Right now I have an HP ZE2000 laptop and its a slow piece of crap. This might be a dumb question but Is their anyway I can fix it up to a decent computer? If not I want to build a new desktop computer or purchase one depending on what your opinions are.
I am going to use my computer mainly for videos. I want a video card with an hdmi out and a sound card that will connect to my audio receiver with no problems, (I hear static with my current laptop) optical out would be preferable but not necessary. I want to be able to run multiple programs with ease. I download a lot of torrents so if I can do anything to make my download speeds faster that would be great.
I don't want to spend that much money, if possible. My range is $500-$700. So should I build my own or does anyone have any good desktop recommendations. Pretty much I am going to be using this PC to download (legally) and watch High def media through my hdtv other than that I don't need much.
Sorry, one last thing. I want a 500gb hard drive but I don't want it to be my main hard drive so I was thinking of installing a cheap hard drive to my PC and buy a 500gb external hard drive to store all my media on. Will my PC run okay with a cheap hard drive installed?
Thanks for the help and sorry for the long post.
