Build your own pc - top of the line config
Your best option presently for top of the line PC is:
- processor: 3800+ AMD 64bit Processor socket 939 (or 3400+ is a much cheaper alternative)
- Motherboard, Nforce 3, Asus preferably or Soltek or Abit, maybe gigabyte
- ram: 1GB (2x512mb) or 2 GB (2x1GB) ram sticks, running at DDR500 (above 1gb only if you do video editing)
- 2 x Wester Digital Raptors in Raid 0 ... they run at 10k rpm
- 1 x 400 GB sata HDD for storage and backup
- Gainward 6800ultra if you plan to game on the pc, if not ATI 9200 will do just fine
- good case, Chieftec Dragon Full Tower, with 480 W good PSU, antec or enermax truepower
- 2 x 17" or 2 x 19" Samsung LCD displays with 12 or 16ms response time (recommending 174T if you decide to go the 17" route)
- Miro Video video editing card if you do video editing
- 4 x 90mm fans for good cooling of the case
- 1000VA UPS
That's it, isn't cheap but it's fast as hell. It can beat just about anything you can find nowdays bellow 5k.
