    Hi all,

    I have not been following PC components/builds for 10 years or so. I am a bit lost. Can anyone recommend a PC build for approx 1,200 (up to 1,500 with monitor (approx.) which can do the following:

    • Operate as the family computer
    • Run photo and video editing software
    • Light gaming (more like strategy gaming than top of the line graphics gaming)
    • Have a lot of storage for family photos/videos, etc.
    • Look nice, as it will be quite visible

    Many thanks.

    Yes…was thinking it would be decent as a workstation and could handle light gaming like RTS.

    Good luck gaming on an iGPU. You want an AMD APU at least to game on a CPU's graphics cores.
