Quick answer
Which desktop should I buy?
Pick a desktop by the heaviest task you will run. Study, browsing and office work need a 4–6 core processor, 16 GB RAM and an SSD. Gaming needs a strong graphics card. Video editing, 3D and CAD need a workstation: more cores, 32–64 GB RAM and a graphics card your software supports.

Workstations
What is a workstation, and do I need one?
A workstation is a desktop built for sustained professional work: more cores, more memory, a capable graphics card and cooling that stays quiet under hours of load.
Video editing & streaming
An 8–12 core processor, a graphics card with a hardware encoder and 32 GB RAM keep 4K timelines smooth and exports quick. Put footage on a separate fast drive.
CAD, BIM & engineering
Modelling relies on high single-core speed. Some CAD programs only certify professional graphics cards, so we check your software's hardware list before recommending one.
3D rendering & animation
Rendering uses every core or the graphics card, depending on the renderer. Plan 64 GB RAM for heavy scenes, plus strong cooling and a large power supply.
Photography & design
A fast processor, 32 GB RAM and a colour-accurate monitor matter more than a top graphics card for photo editing and graphic design.
Development & data work
Compiling code, running virtual machines and working with large datasets reward more cores and 32–64 GB RAM.
Reliability features
Error-correcting (ECC) memory needs a processor and motherboard that support it. Ask if your work cannot tolerate rare memory errors.

Buying guide
How do I choose a desktop or workstation?
Four decisions make most of the difference.
1
Start from the software, not the specs
List the programs you use every day and the heaviest one you use occasionally. That heaviest program decides the processor, memory and graphics card. Everything else is comfort.
Share the software list when you enquire and we will check its published system requirements with you.
2
Cores for rendering, clock speed for modelling
Video exports and 3D rendering scale with core count. CAD modelling and most office software lean on fewer, faster cores. A balanced 8-core processor suits most mixed workloads.
If you mostly model in CAD, a very high core count adds cost without making the viewport faster.
3
Size the memory to your projects
16 GB is right for home and office use. Photo editing and 1080p video want 32 GB. 4K video, large CAD assemblies and 3D scenes benefit from 64 GB or more.
Leave free RAM slots so you can add memory later instead of replacing it.
4
Plan storage, power and backup
Use a fast NVMe SSD for the system and programs, and a second drive for projects. A quality power supply and a UPS protect your work during power cuts and voltage dips.
Losing a project hurts more than any part failure. See backup & data recovery.

Desktop questions
Desktops & workstations FAQs
Short answers first. Ask us anything else in store or on WhatsApp.
See all FAQsShould I buy a desktop or a laptop?
Buy a desktop if you work at one desk: it gives more performance for the money, runs cooler and is easier to repair and upgrade. Buy a laptop if you need to carry it. See laptops & notebooks.
Is a gaming PC good for video editing?
Often, yes. A gaming PC with an 8-core processor, a modern graphics card and 32 GB RAM edits 1080p and 4K video well. Heavy professional work benefits from more RAM and a dedicated project drive.
Do I need a professional graphics card for AutoCAD or SolidWorks?
It depends on the software. Many CAD programs run well on a good consumer graphics card, while some certify only professional cards for full support. We check your software's certified hardware list before recommending one.
How much RAM does a workstation need?
32 GB is a sensible start for editing and CAD. Choose 64 GB or more for 4K and 6K video, large assemblies or heavy 3D scenes.
Can you install my software and move my files?
Ask when you enquire. We can set up Windows, drivers and updates. Install your own licensed software, or bring the installers and licence details so we can help set it up.
Does a desktop need a UPS?
We strongly recommend one. A UPS keeps the computer running through short power cuts so you can save your work, and protects it from voltage dips and surges.
What warranty comes with a new desktop?
New components carry the manufacturer's warranty, which we explain part by part when you buy. See our terms & warranty page for how claims are handled.
