So I am sick of my PC and am looking at a Mac desktop and not knowing much about computer hardware I am a little baffled when it comes to the customization (it really effects the prices). With the basic upgrades (only 8GB not 16GB) it's about $2,549.00 but I can get the 8GB, i5 and 1TB for $2099.99 at future shop right now. Is that a good deal or will these upgrades be beneficial to me??
Can anyone answer these questions:
Difference between 2.8GHz and 3.2HGz? Which is better? 2.8 is more money so is it worth upgrading too?
Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and i7? Difference? i5 is cheaper but is there a really good reason to go up to i7 (which is $200 more)?
8GB to 16GB - Is it worth upgrading or is just a lot of extra space? I have music, photos, documents (I write a lot) and then a game or two that will be on the computer
1TB Serial ATA Drive - is that a good enough size? I can upgrade to a 2TB but it's $150, is this something I could upgrade in the future if needed?
I should say there is no option of having a 3.2GHz with i7, only i3 or i5. Only the 2.8GHz comes with i7 and it is more expensive, not sure why, I was told 3.2GHz is better.
Any help would be very appreciated
