Looking to get a new computer

[MenacingMonk]

I'm on old technology and it looks like my shyt is I'm trying to save it but it's not looking good I need advice on what to get. I'm a simple guy who doesnt do a lot with comps; all I plan to use it for is web browsing, burning and converting files. I don't kno much so help is appreciated. What brands are good?

Just make sure your cpu is intel. Preferably the i series.

HOnestly, if you're as behind the times as I am? (cheap HP pavillion I stole from my job), a 500 dollar computer will make you feel godly.

lookit:

Micro Center - Computers, Electronics, Computer Parts, Networking, Gaming, Software, and more!

• AMD A4-6300 Dual Core Processor 3.7GHz
• Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
• 4GB DDR3-1333 RAM
• 1TB 7,200RPM Hard Drive
• AMD Radeon HD 8370D
• 24x DVD-RW Drive
• 10/100/1000 Network

I used to masturbate to those kind of computer stats. Now the joints is $379.

The best computer you can possibly buy is a Lenovo (my opinion)

The stuff I got listed up there really is pretty standard nowadays.

The best processor type is Intel. AMD's are fine if you aren't doing anything heavy, but they get hot and the fan in the computer will drive you crazy.

4 gigs of RAM, you cool. Hell, 2 at the minimum.

1TB of space, you won't run out any time soon.


Really, the only drawback of that computer I posted is the fact that it has an AMD processor. And if you don't know, you aren't gonna notice.



just whatever you do, don't go to walmart and grab no eMachines.

Just build a Celeron if that's all you really need. Built one for a client recently for about $250. But that's all new parts, you can easily reuse your case and hard drive.

how much you trying to spend?

$449 (Intel i3, 6tb memory , 1TB (1,000 gigs) storage
Acer Aspire TC Series Desktop Intel Core i3 6GB Memory 1TB Hard Drive ATC-605-UB10 - Best Buy

All you would need to get is a monitor but if as a light of user as you say you are this would more than hold you down for a while

breh.... that's 6gb of memory.

8GB of Ram would be good . Right now I got a HP w/ Intel i7 4th Gen with 1TB HD with Fingerprint Scanner w. 8GB of Ram

You can add up to 16gb though.

I'm in the market for a new desktop (which I will build) and a 2nd laptop. I got mine for $520 back in 2010. It would've been SEVERAL hundred dollars more but I got it from the Dell warehouse (on the Dell site). Someone ordered it with a bunch of upgraded specs but didn't follow thru with the order, so I got it brand new on the low. I'll get my next one from there, too.
