Dawson Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi Brian, I'm tech illiterate but need to order a new computer ASAP. I was wondering if you would take a look at what I've built here and tell me how what I've gone overkill on. I'd like to lower the cost closer to $1500. I do not do any video editing, just photoshop and internet browsing.https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-desktop-computers/xps-tower-special-edition/spd/xps-8930-se-desktop/xdvsetcr005s?configurationid=0f53cc9a-2a4a-4d47-936a-e48e3e7c5bdc Thanks for your advice!

Brian Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 You have run into the problem that I have. Since Dell computers are made in China, or their parts come from China, we are seeing the Import Tarriffs hit the products. So it’s like a $500 increase. In order to lower the cost, you will need to lower the video card to 4GB, decrease the RAM to 16GB and change the HD to a 1TB 7200 RPM drive only. Unfortunately, this will kill the performance of your new computer. I’d recommend saving up a bit more. This configuration is actually perfect. It’s the one I’d buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
