question about desktop PC

Hello. I want to buy a desktop PC, which is not built by myself because I have little experience about building a PC

1.Which brandname desktop PC do you recommend

2.Is it better looking for a model of larger chassis because they always have better ventilation????



Another question about creating backup copy of desktop computer

3. Should I purchase more internal HDD to make copy of another drives or should I purchase big 3.5 external hard drives connected through USB
(Some said SATA and power ports of internal HDD will get ruined after several tens of plugging and unplugging

4.If I buy a big 3.5 external desktop hard drive connected through USB, will I be able to sync the external drives with my internal hard drives, so that every time I create or delete a file from any of the internal drives and my external drives will sync (create a copy and delete as well)

 

Do you need a graphics card, and what is your budget. Those are two of the most important things. Also building a pc isn't much harder than installing an internal hdd. Literally all you need is a screwdriver. The cpu is the hardest part to install, the rest is pretty easy.

 

I do not need a display card. In fact, in the last 20 years. I had two brand name PC and two DIY PC

That two brand name PC lasted at least 10+ years before I abandoned them, NEVER had any problem. The two DIY PC that I build often had bluescreen, sudden turn OFF, I hate it. I am already using the Antec Power supply. However, it still sometimes turns off by itself, in less than two years' time.

I do not know if I had unintentionally damaged any hardware components during the PC build and so the DIY PC was always so unstable!

 

Antec power supply? What does that mean? Those aren't necessarily good. Anyway if you don't need a graphics card, what do you want and again what's you budget. Are you looking for an i7 6700k? Or like an i5 machine.

 

I will probably go for i5 because I do not need a display card. However, I want to know if a bigger chassis is always better than a smaller chassis??

 

For cooling it should be, but the amount of fans plays a very important role in that. A big case with no fans would be worse than a small one with a few.

 

Hello which brand name PC has the best cooling while keeping the size of the chassis minimal

 

How small is needed? If you don't need gaming graphics...

Seriously, what are you planning to do with that computer. How much power you need and how expensive can it be?
If all you do is word processing and netflix, even those little ones will work just fine.

 

HP, lenovo, or dell makes the best desktop PC?

I do not know what I will do with my PC, but most likely browsing the web, watching youtube video and listening to radio. I will not play games or process any video.

 

First you have to decide how to define best.

Is it the cheapest?
Most reliable?
Most powerful?
Best looking?

 

Which brand name makes the best PC??

I do not mind best looking, cheapets

I care about reliability and durability

 

They should all be similarly reliable. Desktops aren't moving around like laptops so build quality isn't as much of a factor most of the time. You want to try and get one with a solid state drive and a decent power supply. Should be about all you need, maybe try and find the best warranty.

 

Durability isn't an issue with a desktop unless you're regularly packing it up and taking it places. If you're not, then reliability is more dependent on maintenance in the long run. If you can keep the dust out, keep an eye on temps, etc, any of the ones @KLF listed will last you a long time. If you're looking for ease of access to components for maintenance/upgrade/cleaning you might consider a full size system, otherwise just about any computer you buy will not even break a sweat browsing the web, watching youtube video and listening to radio.

If you don't already have a screen, an all-in-one might also work, it's got all the hardware built into the back of the monitor and you just plug in a keyboard and mouse and go.

 

depends on what you intend to use the pc for

once again depends on what you are using it for if your not doing anything to stressful with it heat wont be an issue, just open & clean it every so often

I would advise having multiple backups

1. dont buy an external drive by your self a nas that you can add drives to & expand as needed or buy fully loaded with drives & run raid 5
2. use an online back up service

yes this can be configured with a nas & online back ups
