Hi,
I'm in need of a new computer, and have been reading through the various threads here to try to make sure I make the right choice. I was hoping I could run a couple of different specs past you, really just for reassurance that i'm not throwing my money away.
I do quite a bit of rendering, and work with assemblies up to about 500 parts.
I'm keen to go for the latest i7 (for rendering), realise I need at least 8gb RAM, and am happy with one of the lower end graphics cards.
Other than this, my knowledge of the specifics is limited so I won't be building my own machine (having said that, i'm sure I could work out how to add RAM, or change a graphics card... both of these specs require me to do so)
My budget is £1000 inc screens, so lets say £8-900 for the tower (not much I know).
Here are the specs 2 different packages, I would very much appreciate any advice on which looks better for my requirements, and any other advice you might be able give.
The Zoostorm is £700, and I would change the graphics card to a Firepro V4800 for and extra £100.
The Fujitsu is £880, and I would replace the 4gb with 8gb of RAM for £30
Thanks in advance,
Tom
