Wondering around how much it would cost to build a computer that could run several of the adobe suite programs (At once, usually), and would have p. good graphics for gamez and such.

I don't need/want/can't afford a leet machine, but I am really sick of having to rely on campus computers because my laptop won't run the adobe suite well.

Any thoughts? Are pre-built machines really that bad? I'm not very techy so I assumed that would probably just be the easiest way. If so, any links to any machines?

thx thx thx.

First things first we would need to know the specs of your laptop. Assuming your running any version of Windows operating system...

right click your My Computer icon and go to properties. Write down the information such as CPU , Memory, Operating system.

Then click on start, Run and type in DXDIAG and enter. Hit yes or no to check against microsoft drivers , doesnt matter.

Go to the Display section and tell us what graphics your system is using.

This will give us a better idea of why adobe won't run on your system and it might be more beneficial to upgrade your ram / os / system instead of having you dump $1K into a new system.

Memory is stupid cheap these days, you can easily put 4gb into a system for around $100 - 200 and stop a bottleneck that is in your system.

But like I mentioned above, Until we know what your working with, we can only blindly point you in the direction of the most elite computers available.
