Best PC to buy?

[kysirsoze]

I'm sure this thread is somewhere on here but I couldn't find it. I am in the market for a new computer. I am not sure if I am going PC or Mac, but that's not what this thread is about. If I am full on going PC, which company is best? I've had Gateways in the past and not been insanely impressed. I've heard Dell has gone downhill quite a bit.

Also, are these new all-in-one touchscreen PCs worth a shit or are they just a gimmick?

If it helps, I'll be using the computer for film and sound editing and light visual effects as well as some gaming.

Any thoughts?


Rep to legit advice. (And probably funny advice too)

I'd venture to say that core clock and memory clock is much more important than memory size.

With importance to 3d gaming, you don't think memory size and speed are relevant?
I cannot compute.

And the clock speed can be changed...

That's because your core clock and your memory clock are too slow.

heh

but seriously, all of these things are important when choosing a vid card...

If I'm content with low resolutions, less RAM and high clock would suffice.

I was saying that less of faster memory with a faster clocked GPU is probably better than more slower memory with slower speed GPU. Memory size is important, but don't just go "OMG IT HAS 2GB IT MUST BE GOOD!"

That's all, player.

That's why I just said to look at the benchmarks. There are too many little things to nitpick about if you aren't really knowledgeable about the subject.
