My computer is old and outdated. I need a new desktop for both entertainment, and business purposes. Must be reliable for the long run as it is used daily by 3 people including a kid heavy into gaming.

And building your own is cheaper, better and more powerful along with more possiblitys to upgrade.
Dells and other PC’s alike are very limited to what you can upgrade and the quality of their parts.
and have their own build your own PC guides, it’s actually not much harder than Lego’s, but if all else fails Dell is decent.
Get a dual core processor or some kind, atleast a 7600GT and 2 GB of RAM, some would say 1 GB is enough for now, but might as well get 2GB seeing as we’ll be needing it in the near future.
If you are looking for a real tough pc … check this one .. it’s a heavy processing machine
you can never say that this is the best…because its totally dependent of your systems usage….what kind of system do u want?….a gaming one or for multimedia or for office…it depends…..it changes from the point of how you want to utilise it…..
Ok, well you probably want to get a PC which will handle Games well. Games and/or movie editing are the most intensive tasks that computer will have to handle. So here are the specs that I would be shooting for
Get Intel Pentium 4 – at least 2.4 GHz processor
1 Gb or RAM atleast
200 GB or more of hard drive space
256 mb of Video Memory – I would go for the ones that either made by NVidia or ATI
DVD-burner is optional.
Do not get a computer with Celeron, those things don’t work as well as Pentiums. They are a cheaper virsion of Pentium, and so don;t work as well. I don’t think they are as fast as pentiums.
Thats probably the computer specs that you might want. This kind of computer will handle games as well as the regular stuff that you might need.
I would not get and HP computer. They are cheap but not reliable. My uncle had an HP couple years ago and the screen died on him. My friend had a laptop and the mouse pad stoped responding. So no HP. Also, I’ve heard bad things about Compaq as well.
I personally would get a Dell, they usually have pretty good deals on computer. Plus they have really good customer support. You might also will have to get a Microsoft Office, unless you already have it, which is really good.
Make the switch and get a Macbook, or an iMac.
It will be your entertainment mecca.
If you wish to stick with a PC, I would avoid dell by all means… that is… unless you’ll use it for a paper weight within a year…
just study on reviews before you purchase,in one of my magazines they where complaing on some of the cheap computers,they where filling with trial products,aol installed,net zero installed,
hp, is a great computer unless you are big into gaming then i would find one with amd chipset,
Newegg.com – Buy Computer Parts, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras, and Electronics
If you have the money, get an intel iMac 20″.
Partitiion the hard drive, Install Windows on one side, OSX on the other. Surf the web safely on the Mac side. Run the latest games on the Windows side.
itunes and iLife are state-of-the-art entertainment systems.
Apple is known for its high quality and resistance to hacker attacks. Mine has been running non-stop for four years. I’ve added a dvd burner and annother hard drive. I’m happy as a clam.
