Hi all,

Looking for a video editing PC, not to play any games. Will need the whole lot, preferably 19" screen, 300gb? What do you recommend? Budget is 1500 tops though would rather not spend all of it if poss.

Cheers :)

If you want to play games you will obviously have to upgrade the gfx card but otherwise this ill be about perfect and should last you for many years.

The 19" panel I have included is a very good one for viewing movies etc, you can buy cheaper but the quality of those TN based panels is poor for video playback. The only other thing to consider would be that you could have a 20" widescreen for about £60 more!
 
I would buy an additional smaller HDD to run windows and programs off of, and have the big 320gb for video storage/temporary storage.
