For your build, I would advise buying the core components and building up as you can afford parts. i7 3770K, as much RAM as you can afford Asrock Exreme4 for the number of SATA headers, Full tower with very very cooling,
Do you have any parts you could port to a new build, like HDDs, Optical drive?
What OS do you have at the moment?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking into systems & some of the new HP's, like the Envy series, come with PS Elements; was hoping to do things with animation, like gifs from video, etc. But learning Elements will get me started, at least.

If you or a member of your family are an enrolled student it is worth looking for Educational software. You can Google but this will give you some idea of the saving, listed on Newegg, conditions do apply, > http://www.newegg.co...Category/ID-369

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, no enrolled students (self or family). May do Elements until PS is more affordable (some new systems, like the HP Envy series, come with it, I'm seeing); was hoping to do things with animation, like gifs from video, etc. But learning Elements will get me started, at least. Actually, no PC whatsoever right now. The old one (bought in 2001 & upgraded a bit since) is pretty much dead. Doing everything on a small Netbook at the moment. Havent a clue about the bits & pieces, specs, or schematics, sadly...might try out one of those HP's. Thinking also maybe Cannon printers & scanners (I had a Cannon all-in-one previously; plus, I use ArcSoft PhotoStudio, the upgrade of which would come with the scanner), & either a Samsung or Dell monitor. Don’t know if keyboard/mouse is a major consideration, or if any kind will do.
Any not-terribly-expensive possibilities I should be investigating along those lines?

Your last post you are thinking Laptop, HP envoy, starting price is about $1.000.but I need to get a new PC
Do you need to be mobile, Laptop? Or can it be a desktop build?

Your first post.

Really need desktop more than anything (have a Netbook currently, which is fine for what I use it for). Don't need to be mobile, not knowledgeable for a from-scratch build, but looking for something existing that can be customised a bit to suit my needs & last for a while. HP Envy desktops seem promising, but once you get what you need (RAM & drive memory & graphics card & whatnot) & some necessary extra bits, too (speakers, webcam), it's over $1,000, even if it starts at $700. Will have to save up some more for the peripherals, I guess.
