Budget PC for home use

[jlw™]

Guys, Thanks to my youngest boy my laptop is no longer with us. I need a decent budget computer for light home use. I generally bring my laptop home if I need to work a little on the weekend. I want a desktop capable of running mcam because I play a lot to learn the software.

 

I don't have time to build one unless it's pretty much a kit, to quote Sweet Brown "ain't nobody got time for dat."

 

I want to buy an off the shelf pc or one that some one else built to spec.

 

I'm looking at this one on ebay:

and wanted to get some input or suggestions. I'd like to stay around $1500 for the pc and be able to run at least 2 preferably 3 monitors.

 

I've been out of the loop so long on building that I have no idea what board and such to get.

nice rig plus seller has a 100% feedback. only one left, but looks like you can contact the seller to add/build what you want.

I'd say that's a pretty decent price on that box.  Should run mastercam at a good pace.  I don't have personal exp with that video card, as I have the 4000.  You'll want a little more Ram in the near future tho.

Light home use, budget and can run mastercam. I have one of these...cept I doubled the memory. The video card is a little light, but not horrible & can be upgraded easily. Not a benchmark breaker, but very capable and under $300
