Which of these towers would you get?

[mobster011]

I'm looking to replace my current PC with a two-monitor setup for a new tower with a three-monitor setup. I'm not an expert in this area and would love some feedback on which would be best for my needs.

I'm self-employed and the bulk of my work is done in Outlook, Excel and several web-based applications. I don't do any video editing and do minimal photo editing, where I used Pixlr. If any additional info may be needed to assess which tower would be best, please feel free to ask.

With that said, here are my current options. If a better alternative around the same price is available, I'm definitely interested. So...what do you think is best and why?

Anyone? I just remembered I also have music or video streaming at all times while I work.

I don't plan on doing any gaming but want a work PC that will last 5+ years.

The third choice looks good to me.

You may want to look for a prebuilt with an option to replace the system drive with a high capacity SSD if possible.

#2 has SSD 256GB! I say go with #2 it has a higher video card and SSD and more ram too...

 

[orlbuckeye]

Well I would take #2 because of the SSD and GPU. But 2 and 3 are from Costco which mean you get a 2 year factory warranty and if you pay with a Visa you can get 2 more years.

#2 has the most RAM an SSD and the best video card of the bunch (despite being from the previous generation).

Maybe a good question would be what are the specs of your current pc?

Option #2 . The combination of the SSD and 24 GB of RAM should give you a substantial speed boost over the other two configurations. I would prefer the AMD chip to the intel given the events of.the last few months but the rest of the config lags for the price.

How about a counter option? Do you know anyone who does PC gaming? If so, are they looking to upgrade? If they are ask them how much they would be willing to sell their rig minus the hard drives? Offer say about $500, and plan on another $125 for a good SSD and HDD (Western Digital 1 TB drives are about $50. Leaving about 75 for an SSD). If they built theirs, I'm sure they would be willing to help you install the drives.

If you need to go a prebuilt route, of the options listed, the second is pretty good.
