Dear community,
As my 5 years old Dell Inspiron 1520 is getting older I'm thinking of a new PC and I need your advice. My budget is 700$ and it needs to fit a monitor, keyboard, mouse, components. No gaming here, just intense Photoshop (web developer, designer). I was thinking of the following configuration, priced at 444$:
■AMD DDR3 8192MB (2 x 4096) 1600MHz Performance Edition
■Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA3 64MB
■AMD Fusion A8-5500, 4 nuclee, 3200 MHz, Turbo 3700 MHz, Cache L2 4MB, TDP 65W (BOX) [Trinity]
■SAMSUNG DVD Writer SH-224BB, Intern, SATA, Bulk (Negru)
■Asrock FM2A85X Extreme6, FM2, SATA 3 x7, USB 3.0 x6, ATX
What's your opinion on it? I've been running fine on a Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2Ghz, 3Gb ram, Nvidia 8600GT. Would the new AMD Trinity run fine? I'm thinking of the electricity bill also or should I better choose a new laptop+monitor?
