It's been nearly ten years since I last bought a computer or touched one. So I'm out of the game completely with all of this new gear out. The last time I built one. With my time as limited as it is I figured I should just go ahead and buy one out right. Having said that I have my mind set on a few rigs. But to me they look (spec wise) the same. I'm not sure which has enough or which is just overkill. ... though I wouldn't mind a bit of overkill. Pricing on these are okay for me but it's what it's the tower than I'm concerned about I don't want to get screwed any more than what I already am (I know it's cheaper to build your own).
So here we go:

There really aren't any vendors in my area that sell these kinds of things. I mean I have a Staples and Wal-Mart nearby. There are "computer" stores but I don't trust them. I am open to suggestions if none of these will do.
Getting a gaming computer wasn't something I wanted to do but a colleague at work suggested I get one after he heard what I was wanting to do. Video production, med level gaming, and writing lots of writing. He suggestion did make a lot of sense ... that awesome video of Fallout 4 did the trick too.
Seriously I am needing more computing power for the things I would like to do.
And by the way speaking of video production. Is anyone here (I think we may have a lost thread about this) but is anyone here familiar with video editing software that will not break my tiny budget. I do not wish to pay a monthly subscription either for the software.
Thank you all for your time. And hopefully this is the year I can get a new system. Hopefully.
