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?

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

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

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

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](http://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?
