New desktop
I'm looking at desktops with a budget of £500. I'll mainly be using it for image processing, lots of raw files. I'm sick of my dinosaur taking 10 minutes to do a simple task.

Windows Virus Alert screen. Can't close browser.
A couple of time recently, I've gone to download a video, only to have an extra browser window open, along with a mechanical female voice, suggesting I may have a "Windows Virus", and telling me to ring an 800 number (rather difficult, since I'm in the UK), for help removing said "virus". Trouble is, I can't close the…
