Hey,

At the moment I am playing with this 7 years old Acer Aspire 5930 with Windows 7 and I'm getting 10 minutes screenfreezes. So it's time for something new =). I need a new PC but I don't really got much knowledge of this. Can anyone help me out? I wanna use my PC for the following things:

Smolderforge 2.4.3
Music (Spotify + iTunes)
Watch TV Shows and Movies (VLC + iTunes)

Also I got the folllowing equipment already: iPad 3, iPhone 4 & Apple TV 3

I'm not an hardcore gamer so I don't need an overclocked model because I just play WoW on PC and no other games. I just can't decide between Windows or Mac and Laptop or Desktop.

Maybe iMac but I'm not sure if it's the right decision. The only reason I want that is because it's better compatible with my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV 3. But on the other side I need to get used to the new system and I grew up with Windows. Besides that Windows is a lot cheaper too.

My budget is around 1500 euros. Could anyone please help me?

What else do you need besides the computer itself? Any peripherals?

Whatever you go with, get a full hd monitor. That resolution of yours is catshit.

I just connect it to my full HD TV so that won't be the problem.

Just a PC =P.

What do you think of HP Envy H9-1340ED?

Terrible. Lackluster processor and way too powerful GPU. Probably extremely high in price too due to the GTX 680. Extremely overkill for your needs (TBC + video playback) too.

Oke recommend me something good that fits me =). I also wanna use that PC for Fraps or maybe Livestream.

Does it have to be pre-built or do you know anyone who would be able to build it for you (or yourself? it's really simple)?

Prebuilts overpriced sack of shit.

My dad can do that.

You know any NL computer websites? I can link you a build on pcpartpicker but you'll have to find the components on either amazon UK or some NL website yourself.
