PC Spec Recommendations

Subject: PC Spec Recommendations Sat Aug 04, 2012 4:45 pm

looking on gettin a PC as this laptop is bad:
Genuine Intel (R) CPU T2250 @ 1.73 GHz
RAM 2GB
86.3 HDD

I don't wna spend too much at the moment though.
can anyone recommend a minimum spec for getting a desktop PC, which will help the following run smoothly:

Sony Vegas 10/11 ( newblue, magic bullet looks etc )
General Video Streaming ( online & hd playback on media player etc )

maybe you guys could let me know what your running?

If you're going to buy a pc,i suggest you go all out,so your pc can keep up with everything for 5+ years,if you spend the minimum then it'll be a top notch rig for only 2 maybe 3 years,upgrading is something i don't recommend.

I suggest you check some pcs that you currently can't afford but you can try the per month payment,i'm sure you'll work it out in a 12 month long payment timetable

Last but not least NOT A BLOODY LAPTOP

ooh,forgot to mention that you should pick a setup that comes with a high number(8 is awesome) of RAM because that's essential if you want to be editing LIKE A PIMP BOSS

i disagree with "da guy above" ...

Technology progresses in a really fast pace now.. so spending 1k or even 2k euros for a pc (with the thought that it will last for about 3-5 years) is pointless...

in 3-5 years there will be 8-core processors (there are already some cpus (AMD) which are equipped with 8 cores)

So what i say is that you should get a "good" pc for the time being and in 2 years buy a new one ;)

Prices are too low these days with all this economic crisis thing :P so with about 800-1000 euros you can get a really good computer which will be running the latest programms for the next 2 years ;)

my current specs:

what you should buy in my opinion would be a pc with the following specs:

cpu: Intel Core i-5 / i-7 (if i-5 then make sure that there are 4 physical cores and not 2.. coz the sellers take advantage of your "not knowing" these stuff and sell you a cpu with 2 physical cores while they say it has got 4... Intel has implemented a program in its cpus which can split each physical core into 2 logical cores, that program is called Intel Hyper-Threading)

4-8GB RAM
1-2 GB Nvidia GFX card (imo ATI is not as good as nvidia in terms of support and drivers)
500GB HDD
Windows 7 64 bit (if they offer you to pre-buy Windows 8 don't do it...) xD

with those specs you can easily and smoothly run After Effects and every other program ;)

The only problem with laptops is the overheating... if you think you can handle that then go for a laptop ;) portability is really good :)

Crookz,noobs gonna hate,i guarantee you that if you buy a good 1k rig today that it will last for at least 4+ years,running the latest games/softwares with little to no effort,even if they go all out and make 20-core cpus everything will still be able to run just fine on an i5,you don't want to even imagine how much that 8-core will cost when it will come out,let's say it comes out in 4 years...it'll be purchasable for poor guys like us at another 2-3 years.

Go and buy the pc of your dreams once and it will last you maybe more than half a decade

Gotta agree with Nikos , it's a waste of money buying an expensive pc...

Yeah and Law now doesn't write anymore in the forums and i am out of her league to keep up with her...not even double posting can help me

Subject: Re: PC Spec Recommendations Sat Aug 04, 2012 6:30 pm

Thanks for the opinions guys and thanks alot for the detail nikos.
What I've been looking at is around:

i3/i5
4/6gb ram
1tb hdd
also not sure about graphics? would intel HD graphics be sufficient?

they cost between 400 - 600 english pounds including the screens depending on what end of the processor/ram I want.
appreciate the feedback ^^
