hi


A friend of mine is going to buy a new pc, he wants to buy the imac. He's going to use it for photoshop, video editing, word, schoolwork.
It wil cost him € 1230. Is this smart or should he built a pc with that money? For that much money you can built a nice pc dont you think?

Yeah, you can easily build a computer for that price. However, if he isn't as tech savvy and doesn't have the time to devote to reading, building, and troubleshooting, a prebuilt computer would be a better option.

The store where could buy the parts is going to put the pc together. I want to convince him to do this, but he thinks the iMac is better.
I was thinking of this:
Amd 1090T
Asus AM3 M4A87TD USB3 870
Kingston DDR3 4GB 1333MHz
Samsung 1TB SATA2 Spinpoint F3
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Samsung SH-S223B DVDRW
Asus nvidia GTS450 Direct CU 1GB DDR5 voltage tweak ed.
Corsair PSU TX ATX 650W

Barrymobiel perhaps he like Mac OSX as a preferred operating system? I like MacOSX lol. But if you do steer him to build (which is way cheaper for way more in terms of hardware), then the build you have above is good.

He should build his own. He will have a hell of a time upgrading the imac.
