Looking for a new desktop computer + monitor
Family is looking for a new desktop package to replace a long-standing Pentium 3, and I'm seeking some advice.
I have previously replaced a hard drive, added a network card and a cd writer but do not consider to have enough experience to build a system on my own.
On top of the usual, the computer will be used for some video editing, some photoshop and moderate gaming.
Considering the longevity of the previous desktop, I'm looking for a system that will last (before becoming obsolete) with a more recent processor, upgradable memory and possibly a blu-ray drive.
Budget is under 1800$ including monitor.
I would like to have your opinion on the following desktop:
