Hi
I`m sure that People are asking this on a Daily Basis..
i already have a Laptop (which i know nothing about) all i know its a toshiba with a Core i3 and a 1.5 CPU ( Obviously im a noob in these Stuff)
But i`m looking forward to buy a Desktop pc for my Room
I`m most likely going to be using it for School projects/video editing/making music
so yes i want it to be Super fast Still not for gaming tho (maybe for few minor games like Dota /Rocket league Because i mainly game on my Ps4
I thought about the IMac and for my description it might be perfect for me Yet its so damn expensive
So my Question is How much will a Fast none Gaming Pc will cost me ? ?

Think you need to sit down and set some priorities, $100 for a keyboard, what $30 or more for a mouse - on a $500 budget - not very realistic, when a $25 or $30 (or less) combo would be more suited to a rig on a budget of that type

that's just a suggestion thrown together quickly
featuring a good CPU for rendering/production
lots of RAM
a good board

I think a comparable MAC costs around 1500^^

of course that's when you're building yourself.
as for prebuilds, no idea sorry

that Looks like a Solid PC But its Funny cause i Expected a 500$ Pc Especialy Since this is Kinda out of my Budget for now
Plus this might be Overly powered Since im 100% sure im not gonna be Taking advantage of the power it can make
Any ideas for a lower Budget Build ^ ^ ?

Half the problem at first is actually determining what you need vs what you can afford.. It's always better to start out where you were and get it down to where you are now. :)

Do you have any components at all (mouse, keyboard, monitor)?
