How Much Would This Computer Cost?

[Dr. Doom]

I have no idea how much this would cost, and I want to know about how much I have to save up for. Something to achieve.

Requirements:

* 130-150 Gigs of Space
* Fast Processor
* A bunch of RAM
* Ports for Video camera (not sure but maybe FireWire Card?)
* Really good sound card and video card

Around how much would that cost? And am I forgetting stuff?

£700

[Maxtr0sity]

$1000 Perhaps. Maybe something more specific can get you a more specific price.

[Laslett]

£700 = $1000 ish

[Dr. Doom]

1000? ****!

[dropkick]

you'll have to be a little more specific
how fast is fast to you?
you can get a pretty decent system for anywhere from $500-$1000, just depending on your standards

If you ask me:
Really good sound card and video card = 1000$ alone :D

[Digigamer]

yeah a really good video card that can cost you anywhere from $100 - $700.

you need to be more specific

nah thats a high price dude, you can get both for around $400, maybe cheaper

[Mik3]

So vague, a fast proccessor, and a buch of RAM, Good soundcard and video card?

eh?
$400 - $3000

[c!rYx]

Sure you can get this stuff for 400$ Digitalosophy, but he said 'a really good ...' that means newest technology from my point of view :)

And am I forgetting stuff?

a screen...

[c!rYx]

hm, you don't really need a screen, I think over all they are a little bit overrated.....

[mlk]

if this config is required for CG i'd recommend a good calibrated screen - but that can make the price double...

[Dr. Doom]

I don't think I need a screen for a hard drive, bucko. But anyways, for Sound Card and Video card just a normal one would work. As long as I can stream videos well and have them show up nice and clear and play songs that will work.

I need the comp to run perfectly. It shouldnt take an hour to open up a file or to close it. Just nice and quick.

Just a normal one... like an ati radeon 7,500?
You're beeing too vague, you should check out video cards at their sites, and look at overall computer prices at www.bestbuy.com

Ughhhh. I have no idea, just a normal one. I also want the ports to upload video onto my computer and edit them with programs, perhaps that hints I'd need a more expensive/better one?
