How Much Would This Computer Cost?

I have no idea how much this would cost, and I want to know about how much I have to save up for. Something to achieve.

Requirements:

  • 130-150 Gigs of Space
  • Fast Processor
  • A bunch of RAM
  • Ports for Video camera (not sure but maybe FireWire Card?)
  • Really good sound card and video card

Around how much would that cost? And am I forgetting stuff?

£700

$1000 Perhaps. Maybe something more specific can get you a more specific price.

£700 = $1000 ish

1000? ****!

you’ll have to be a little more specific
how fast is fast to you?
you can get a pretty decent system for anywhere from $500-$1000, just depending on your standards

If you ask me:
Really good sound card and video card = 1000$ alone :smiley:

yeah a really good video card that can cost you anywhere from $100 - $700.

you need to be more specific

nah thats a high price dude, you can get both for around $400, maybe cheaper

So vague, a fast proccessor, and a buch of RAM, Good soundcard and video card?

eh?
$400 - $3000

Sure you can get this stuff for 400$ Digitalosophy, but he said ‘a really good …’ that means newest technology from my point of view :slight_smile:

And am I forgetting stuff?

a screen…

hm, you don’t really need a screen, I think over all they are a little bit overrated…

if this config is required for CG i’d recommend a good calibrated screen - but that can make the price double…

I don’t think I need a screen for a hard drive, bucko. But anyways, for Sound Card and Video card just a normal one would work. As long as I can stream videos well and have them show up nice and clear and play songs that will work.

I need the comp to run perfectly. It shouldnt take an hour to open up a file or to close it. Just nice and quick.

Just a normal one… like an ati radeon 7,500?
You’re beeing too vague, you should check out video cards at their sites, and look at overall computer prices at www.bestbuy.com

Ughhhh. I have no idea, just a normal one. I also want the ports to upload video onto my computer and edit them with programs, perhaps that hints I’d need a more expensive/better one?
