Intel or AMD, Linux(which distribution)or Windows(pick your number, take your chance) Do your own research, see what appeals to you, Do you want a 'Brand Name' comp (security + cost) or a 'do it yourself from parts' job, or something in between. There is no 'BEST' answer, sort out what you need first, then your budget, then where to get it. Most people want more than their budget and compromise, BUT you can save a lot of dosh with a bit of research(search engine). Hey two glasses of red and it sounds like the meaning of life!!!

Do lots of photo editing, mapwork, home /family displays, publishing etc a few games, but not a priority until current model gets passed onto kids. SF	Guest (0)

Let them know what you will be using the machine and see what they come up with, I bet it will be a good deal. I got a great, stable system from them for a reasonable price. No regerets. As Rod ger says though, research, know what you want, why you want it and what is a good price for it. Good luck Ed	Guest (0)
