Hey,
I'd like to create a $1,000 system incl. monitor.
I like both AMD and Intel, but I go with what you guys say as I haven't been in the field for a while ;)
Also, I was going to go with the 8000gt but I heard that the Radeon HD4850 is supposed to be the best card you can get for the price, so I wouldn't mind spending the few extra dollars.
I don't need tooooo much disk space. 500GB is def. enough.
I'm not sure whether 4GB of ram or only 3GB because I heard that 32bit OS' only recognize up to 3GB. If I choose a 64bit OS will I have compatibility issues?
The monitor should be either 20" or 22" whichever is a better deal. I prefer quality over size though. I also doubt that I will ever play games at a super high resolution. What would you recommend? I really like the larger size because I also do graphic design, but I wouldn't want to compromise quality.
I don't need an overkill PSU, just in advance ;)
And do you think I should just go with my old Windows XP Pro or do I really have to upgrade to VISTA?
Thank you so much for your help in advance. I will consider EACH answer :)
