Hello all!

I'd be greatly appreciative to anyone who's willing to put together a PC for me on pcpartpicker that is super-fast, but non-gaming. I'd like to be able to fly around internet browsing (multiple tabs), office functions, and very minimal and amateur video/photo editing (more heavy on photo). I also always have tons of applications/programs going at once, for research, etc. I only need the tower (no keyboard, mouse, screen, etc). I would like a nice video card, and definitely need the ability to output the display to two and if possible, three screens, one of which is 27' (would like HD as well).

I'd prefer an i7 just for the speed of the processor, but an i5 would be minimum, and minimum 8GB of memory. As far as straight hard drive space, I'd like at least 750 GB, but wouldn't be opposed to 1 TB.

Thank you for your work/knowledge in advance!

All best,

- J

its to bothersome to do what you ask on that website, but... get the best i5 (if you only do amateur video editing then i5 is sufficient)... yes get 8gb of ram (this will allow you to have those multiple tabs)... for a graphic card, see if you can get something like radeon hd7870 2gb, it shouldnt cost that much but its kinda powerfull(although do a research, I dont know if 2gb ram will be enough for 3 monitors, i mean i know nothing about the use of monitors relation to gpu ram)... and I advise you to get an SSD, thats probably the main thing here for speed. you can open and run tabs fast... just get a 120gb ssd, its stupid cheap, and a 750gb HDD on top of that... I think thats just about 750$ or cheaper
