hi guys,
im moving to university over here in england in a few weeks and im planning on getting a new pc before i do. the pc i have at the moment is dying, about a month ago it found a problem with the hd, and now its losing some files (i had to reinstall windows last week) but then again it isnt that surprising, it is an old 350mhz computer, and so i need a new one before i move to uni.
now im here to ask you guys your opinions on the kind of pc i should get. i need one that has some of the best specs for the price and one that can run all the programs like photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, flash and many more (im on a multimedia computing course). also i want to use it for games, movies and stuff like that. considering that ill be using it for uni i think maybe a laptop might be best what with its portability etc but compared with a similar spec pc they are more expensive arent they, plus they arent the best for gaming.
i also think i should say that if theres anyone here that lives in england it might be best if they could help me, ill take anyone elses help aswell but im dealing with english money. i have no more than a £1000 budget but all that is like a kind of grant on top of my student loan and it would be useful to have some left for the rest of the year so i would kinda like some change. the minimum im looking to pay is about £500 and i think maybe the most i would LIKE to pay would be about £800 although i could (maybe) stretch to £1000 (id prefer not to though).
i have found this one which i think is pretty decent, very decent i think considering the price. it hasnt got a monitor but ive got one myself.
so what do you guys think, what should i go for?
