Hello,
I'm a newbie so this may sound a bit "lame" but if I want a new desktop that's at the top of current technology which Intel chip is right for me? I'm not a gamer however that's not to say I might want to try gaming sometime, however I want to be able to work with pictures, sound files, movies etc. so I'm leaning towards the I7 chip with Windows 7 O.S. I'm not sure what the I5 chip is all about but I have read it doesn't have hyperthreading which I'm not sure I understand.
Any help or suggestions? Also, what websites would you recommend to have a computer built like this with someone having the knowledge to make certain I haven't chose components that may not compliment one another.
Thanks!
