Picked up an i7 processor, high-end video card, motherbard, 16gb ram, dual drives (ssd and 1T hd), case, 23in flat panel and Windows 8 OEM for just under $1,100 - after rebates at MicroCenter in Newark. I have a great machine that burns thru video editing - and again - I'm no computer wiz. Just followed the instructions and watched a couple of YouTube videos.
