Hey guys can you please help. Im considering disposing my laptop and purchasing a powerful desktop. I have many reasons for wanting one such as better speed when running programs (sony vegas, photoshop) also the occasional game.

The computer im looking at: CyberPower fang evo

-its got a sandy bridge intel core i7-2600K

-Processor speed 3.4 GHz

-8 gigs of ram

-graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTS 450

-Video memory: 1gig


Anyways can you please tell me if this is gonna be a good computer able to run multiple programs, without lag.

-ps: could this computer easily handle minecraft and a screen recording program? (at the same time) could it support an hd texture pack on minecraft aswell? Like 128x128 or even the photorealistic ones such as 256x256.

Please help me out, rep will be given where rep is due 8) thanks!

I do know the Nvidia is supposed to be the best of the best. Cyberpower is a good brand but if you're going to be a serious PC gamer, just go with an Alienware or build your own.

Alienware is good. But i didnt say i wanted to spend that much for just a brand name. The insight you gave doesnt really help me much..

Do you have a specific budget?

A GTX 450 is bit on the low side. It was never a popular card when it came out ( Same goes for the GTX 550 ti ). The price to performance ratio just isn't there. A GTX 460 / 6850 or higher will run it fine. A 2600k would be ideal for photoshop use...but then again, that's an extra $100 you could put towards a better motherboard/PSU/GPU. Your screen resolution will also have a huge impact on the performance.

This and I highly suggest customizing it on cyberpower as you could get more for your buck.

Don't get Alienware just customize it on cyberpower if you don't want to put it together be a lot cheaper and better.
