Spec me 2 PCs

[nerobart]

Hello

I am looking to replace computers in my office. The computer will be mainly used for photo editing, databases and order management software and web browsing. The set should include SSD 128gb, 2 monitors, decent peripherals and OS. I will not be able to use any parts form old computers.

My limit is £1000 for each but obviously if less it is better.

Thanks guys

Won't work snips,

The Xeon has no on-board GPU.

I also think he want 2 monitors for each PC, not 2 over both.

Thanks for your replies.

Here is a set I think will be good for me:

What do you think ?

 

[DaleTheWhale]

Doomed spec is much better, better processor & motherboard + 16GB of RAM. Dual screen stand will be a nice touch as well.

+1

OEM CPU and no CPU cooler is a bit of a Fail.

EDIT: No point in getting a 4670K either as the mohterboard won't OC it.. and no cooler, as above..

Thanks Guys,

I don't mean to sound big-headed but i also agree (and those coolmaster cases look horrid).

They really do.

And those Iiyama monitors look very interesting for the price.

opsss

Nope ! They cheap little cases and are well made.

I will go with the I7 build then, but still undecided if should I go for Dell or Iiyama monitors. I have this dells at home, and they are awesome.The stand and cd/dvd reader will not be necessary as I have external one so I could fit the dells in my budget.


Thanks guys for your help!

For around that price you should be able to get dell P2414H monitors in the place of the U2312HM.

Other than the monitors Doomed's spec looks spot on (actually his monitors are fine for the budget, but if you prefer the Dell option then I'd go with the above^)
