The computer I have at the moment can't handle programs or anything that requires a lot of memory, so I was thinking to buy a new one. How much would you pay for a computer?

Mostly for online activities, I use a lot Photoshop and Dreamweaver since I create my own websites and also for SEO softwares. I think I'll pay somewhere around $600 for it... And I think it has i5 processor, 4GB RAM and I don't know other specs.
 
I use photoshop, after effects and premiere a lot, my specs are:
I7 3630QM Processor
16GB DDR3 RAM
1 Terrabyte On board Storage
16 gigabytes Solid State Drive for cache
6 Terrabyte external Storage
2 Graphics Card Nvidia GeForge 650M 2GB GDDR5 RAM
15.6Inch screen
its light etc.

PS: This is a laptop as I am a student, gonna buy a computer in a year or so for 3500$ with dual Titans
 
$600 is far more than enough for the programs you listed above.
 
Well for 1000$ you can get a Dell Inspiron r15 5521, it's cheap and good:)
 
If you don't want to play games you don't even need a good GraphicCard.
For your purposes you just need much RAM. 16GB would be perfect.
So you need a Mainboard with 4 DDR3 Memoryslots and decent onboard GraphicCard.
If you don't want to render Videos or big 3D objects a simple dualCore CPU is enough.

500-600$
 
Thank you for your answers guys.
 
Build one for $600 and you can run games on high settings. The already-done for you systems are overpriced and crappy. Check out newegg for some deals and you can even use parts from your old computer on the new one.
 
Around 700-1000$ for quite high spec computer. :)
 
Since you do not use and rendering as video rendring and etc I think a 600USD desktop will fit your requirements.
 
If you are in the US... A lot of states are having tax free weekend to prepare for school kids. You may wanna check it out and take advantage.... Could save you a few bucks.

Otherwise I cant be much help for ya.
 
I spent $500 for a PC video workstation, 8 GB memory, upgraded graphics card and 1 TB drive. I added a second drive to save the video to, you don't want the OS and data on the same drive. It's fast enough to do video and 3D rendering for the price. Sure I could have spent a lot more and go a somewhat faster machine but this was the sweet spot in terms of features for dollars. And of course I never installed Win 8, why bother everything is running fine under Window 7? A comparable Apple desktop would have been at least double the price in case you are thinking of going in that direction.

I highly doubt that thing is light... lol

Do you even use the power? Using the programs mentioned there is no way you can, especially if you get a $3500 computer - it's a waste of money unless you know how to use it :p
 
500-600$ are enough according to me. You can built it yourself to get best components at best price
