Hi people,
I am new to building pcs. I don't game persay but I want a fast responsive computer. I do occasional light /medium video editing and picture editing, burn dvds and stream music/netflix.
I am partial to intel instead of AMD. I also want the modern ports like USB 3.0. I need windows pro because I understand it is the only 8.x version that allows Remote desktop connections which I use for work.
Would you review my list and let me know if you think this is a good build? I was trying to keep it to $1000 but $1200 is ok if it makes an awesome pc.
Also, this is of secondary importance, but since I don't game really, will the on board video connections work fine for me or should I still buy a video card like I have selected below?
Thanks in advance everyone. I really appreciate each of your replies.
