    New desktop

    Hello everyone,
    My brother wants to buy a “refurbished” desktop just to edit video, pictures and internet usage mostly. So, we do not know where we must focus according to those needs. Should we go for better processor or graphic card? His budget is from 400 to 600 euro. I found some desktops (links below) but i surely need your opinion. The sites are greek but i think you surely can get the point of specifications (click the word “χαρακτηριστικά”). Any suggestion is more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Hello
    1 and 2 look ok,i am not sure which graphics card would be best for video editing. Also i would stay away from from number 3 selection,this type of pc makes it expensive to upgrade. The monitor looks ok as well.

      #1 would be my choice but before making any purchase you should check the system requirements for any software that you want to use.

          A balance of both, no point in having a very good CPU and only a basic GPU and vice versa, the poor item of hardware would limit the capabilities of the good item, as said check the system requirements of any software that you will use and let that be your guide, an example here
