After five years with my current PC, it's time to start looking for a new system. I plan on waiting until Windows 10 comes out before I buy.
A lot has changed in the 5 years since I last bought a PC, so I'm wondering what I should be looking for, given my needs. My primary uses will be web browsing, streaming video, Office work, and some minor audio/video editing.
I'm thinking I should be looking for at least a 4th gen i5 with 8 GB of RAM (possibly 12?), and a 1 TB+ hard drive.
Graphics: Will Intel 4600 graphics be good enough or is it worth the extra money to get a dedicated card? (the Nvidia GeForce GT 700 series seems like the primary alternative on a lot of sites)
I plan on keeping whatever I get for 3-5 years.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
