Basically, I need magic, I know.
I am looking for a PC with a smaller footprint and a smaller price tag.
I don't want a huge desktop that takes over my work space and sounds like an airplane.
I want something that I can use out of the box since I have limited experience with building computers and I don't want the stress of potentially ruining expensive parts.
Also, I would like it to be something I could upgrade in the future. I know this is hard, since I want a small desktop, but why not aim high?
I realize Intel i3 is cheaper, how different is it from i5?
How much does power wattage really matter?
What graphics card would be best for a starting out computer gamer?
What is necessary for photoshop to run at its best?
Defining expensive: in a perfect world, it would be less than $1000 CAD. I still need to get photoshop and games for said computer. And Office (I'm not a fan of Open Office).
Also, I'll need a display since the only one I have is an old beige clunker from the 90s. I have been using laptops for the past few years.
Since I need other stuff so I want it to be as great a deal as possible.
