Dell Inspiron 5551. Good computer, does what I want, affordable. Win10 was surprisingly easy to adjust to coming from Vista Business, and a great improvement over same.

I also want to extend this thread to also be what computer do you recomend I buy because I'm thinking about buying a new one.

The main things I use my computer for is for communicating via webcam, music production, watching films on stuff like that.

I want a PC not a Mac, because I have things on my old PC I want to use on the new one I buy.
I'm thinking I might be willing to spend up to 800 pounds/1037 dollars.

I've seen good reviews of these lenovo computers.

I'm running an alienware 15R and I've been fairly happy with it. I previously had an HP laptop, which I wasn't very pleased with, it didn't handle demanding apps, and the graphics card was horrible. For your use, most any should computer should work, and it would depend on whether you are looking at a desktop or a laptop. I do tend to like Lenovo and Dell, but you should easily be able to find something within your price range.

Personally, in this type of thing, I think you are better with going with something that is slightly older, which reduces the price, rather than a top of the line no-name brand.

Well, if you're not gaming, I don't think you'll need a high end GPU at all. What matters here is a good CPU, with preferably more than four cores (actually, not sure if more than four is needed for music production, it depends, but do not get less than four) and at least 4 gigs of ram and an SSD.

Simply put, I'd recommend
A Samsung evo 850
An at least four core CPU - If I'm not wrong, intel core CPU's are generally better, faster, check out the i5 and i7 series.
A budget GPU should be enough
4-8 gigs of ram

-I am no expert, if I am wrong, point it out-

My specs are:
HD 7870 (faster than a gtx 660, slower than a 760)
i7-2700k
8 gigs of ram
Samsung evo 850 256gig
-Some WD HDD 1tb
