I am looking at a new computer to replace my old build but I am in a hurry for a turn around because my current one is crashing. I was looking at gaming PCs because they are made to handle some heavy processing, but I know not all things are the same.

I was looking at simpler options like an HP:

Or a gaming PC from NewEgg

I have a budget of 1500 could get up to about 2000 but would rather keep it more at 1500. Optic out, wifi, & hdmi for multiple monitors would be nice, but I know I can add the audio and wifi I just have had bad luck with audio drivers for soundcards in the past. I am looking for something good that will last and deal with running many things at once. Anyone have some good options that are built?

I should add I need one that will encrypt so that increases the workload if I am working with encryption running. I think most MBs have the chips for that, but the issue is working with encryption just adds to the workload.
