[SOLVED] IMac 21.5 inch 3.06Ghz

hi


A friend of mine is going to buy a new pc, he wants to buy the imac. He's going to use it for photoshop, video editing, word, schoolwork.
It wil cost him € 1230. Is this smart or should he built a pc with that money? For that much money you can built a nice pc dont you think?

Yeah, you can easily build a computer for that price. However, if he isn't as tech savvy and doesn't have the time to devote to reading, building, and troubleshooting, a prebuilt computer would be a better option.

The store where could buy the parts is going to put the pc together. I want to convince him to do this, but he thinks the iMac is better.
I was thinking of this:
Amd 1090T
Asus AM3 M4A87TD USB3 870
Kingston DDR3 4GB 1333MHz
Samsung 1TB SATA2 Spinpoint F3
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Samsung SH-S223B DVDRW
Asus nvidia GTS450 Direct CU 1GB DDR5 voltage tweak ed.
Corsair PSU TX ATX 650W
case
win7

He should build his own. He will have a hell of a time upgrading the imac.
