[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 541675, member: 7966"] Anyone who answers that question should ask you a few questions first (your not interested in what they need but what you need): What do you do on your PC? Surf Internet mostly, some document processing, some Spreadsheet? Basic PC with most input/output devices incorporated into motherboard. Lowest priced but limited in flexibility. Do you run other programs? If so, what kind? Image processing? (ie - Photoshop) Need lots of memory, large hard drive, good quality video card (Turtle for instance) and good quality monitor. Do you now or plan to become a gamer? Online gaming? Need more processing power, more fast memory, really good and fast video card (Gforce as example). Monitor needs to be good quality with fast refresh rate. I've had good luck buying PCs through Office Depot when they had specials (40 -60 % off) but you have to wait and monitor until they have one of their sales. The best buys are when you select the model and features in store and the PC is shipped directly from manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
