Please tell me if this is a good deal/computer!

[Jason Segel]

Please tell me if this is a good deal or not or whether I should buy it or
any improvements. I'm using iBuyPower on this one. I'm going to be mainly using it for Photoshop and After Effects and Sony Vegas. I will also be using C4D and Screenflow. I also like to play games like Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Minecraft. Both computers come with a 22" display so yeah. Thanks!

No need for 64GB RAM you'll never use half of that at a time. Seems a little over priced but that's what to expect when not building your own PC.

 

[Sanctuary]

Holy shit, that's one fucking super computer.
But 64GB of RAM? Is that even possible?!
Trust me on this one, you won't EVER need 64 GB of RAM. 8GB or 16GB should do you just fine if you want to use Sony Vegas, PS, play MineCraft and other games, etc. It'll save you a ton of money on that one.

2TB of memory is a bit... unnecessary. 2TB = 2048 GB. I have yet to see any of my friends use up 1TB alone.

Other than that, I can't really say that much about this.

Ok. I think I'll just use 8 x 4 or 32gbs. Do you know any places like iBuyPower that do pre-built but customizable computers for cheaper?

 

[Beats]

I was going to buy from them but I decided to build my gaming PC myself. It is always better to buy it built because BYO PCs always have problems. I would advise getting a built one. I havent heard much from iBuyPower but they seem a little sketch. I know they are a legit business but I always had a feeling.

I would buy it from them. Just because they have very powerful PCs.

I'm pretty sure you're gonna want noise reduction when you're on it at night

All services like that a expensive. I suggest buying all the parts and hire
Someone to put them together in the case. Saves a few hundred.

Yeah I was afraid I'd overdo it a bit. I might just stick with 2tbs of harddrive without adding another drive. I just want to have a bit of a movie collection although PC's get viruses so I better tone down my YARR'ing as I have a macbook pro and an iMac right now. Plus I also have a large itunes library so 2tbs seems good.

Meh. I might give some randy at my local building shop to build this shit for me. I want a nice computer although is there anyway to run mac osx as a partition on one of these computers?

Nah Fuck that. I'm good. I have my own HUGE fucking room away from my mother and It's just me and my mom.
