Which New PC?
I’m thinking of buying a new PC at the start of next year, so I thought I’d put up a list of my requirements to see whether anyone could give me some advice regarding which one to get. I built my last PC, but that was about 4 years ago and I haven’t really kept up to date on the latest technology, so it’s going to take a lot of research before I find one! I don’t think I’ll build it this time though.
1. I need all the basics of course. Inbuilt WiFi card would be nice, a large amount of USB ports is essential and a good graphics card for playing games is also important. I used to be up to date on the latest GFX cards but I’ve got no clue what the latest models are.
2. I need a three monitor setup. At the moment I have dual monitors and that’s great, but I still occasionally need the third monitor. The screens won’t match each other unfortunately (I’ll use my existing two and add one more) but that’s not a major problem. I’ve read a few things about certain video cards being incompatible with each other so I’ll have to bear that in mind when buying.
3. I’ll probably end up buying a quad core processor – I don’t want to have to upgrade for a while so I may as well spend a bit extra and get a high quality model.
So those are the basics, any suggestions? I want to avoid Dell if I can, their PCs are too expensive for me. Oh, and I’ll definitely avoid getting a Mac. I don’t have anything against them, but the lack of good games is a major problem and not something I can get around.
