Yes, I post these threads annually, tossing out ideas for my next desktop and then it ends up not happening, so now we're clunking by on an almost 8 year old "Trevor Trouncer" that can't handle HD Youtube video, or even SD Youtube full screen among other things.
Instead of going cutting edge, mid range price/performance is ideal. I don't game so no need for a high powered gaming system. Money is an object as it always is.
Is the AMD FX series still the way to go? I see there's an A series CPU+GPU combo chips now, are those the way of the future?
I figure 8 GB RAM, and Windows 7 64-bit (NOOOO Windows 8!!), and a 500 GB-1TB HDD depending on what the prices are like. 27" monitor would be a nice thing to have too.
I'll post part ideas after I spend some time on Newegg, but figured I'd toss this out to get ideas.
Thanks,
KJP
