Answer 1

If you are not playing any games on it go to Best Buy or Walmart and you will pay 350 to 500.00

If you plan on playing a game  get the 500.00 one at Best but  and have them install a power supply and video card for like 250.00 and tadaa you have a smoking system

i just bought this one

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?...

it was 508 with tax.

I got a power supply for 60.00 at New Egg and a Nvidia 9500 with 512 Mb on it for 70.00. i paid best Buy 50.00 to install the power supply and I installed the video card. This machine is smoking now.

Even before i upgraded it though it did play some games like WOW  and my Sims 2 played but the picture was no where near as detailed and clear

With the upgrade it is fabulous

If you do not play games though  the best advice i can give is one get Dual core processor, One that is at least a AMD 4400 is best. I prefer AMD some like Intel.

Also be sure to get at least 2 GB memory

I prefer 3 GB but two is still good.  Do not get Less than 2 Vista needs at least one to run.

A 320  to 500 hard drive will hold a lot. You can also always buy a external hard drive to store all your pictures and files and they cost like 100.00

How much is your budget??

If you give me a idea how much you can spend and if you ever plan on playing games i can find you a match for your budget.

Oh and get a Gateway Acer or Dell even a EMachine is a good one and is a pretty good priced system

Do Not get HP or Compaq

Answer 2

I would go to your local computerr store and tell them how much your expense level and what your needing it to do I'm sure that they will work with you i live in a small town in florida we have i fix computers at ifixcomputers.com but smaller computer stores are the easiest and probably cheaper

Go to Walmart get you a nice $400 full computer set they have dells n emachines perfect time cause they have back to school deals

and dealofamericas 2 site I go into every mornin for good deals

Answer 5

If you are looking for laptop then get a dell or hp laptop.Dell cost around $400 and Hp cost around $ 500 but you can get cheaper at Walmar.I think laptops are better than desktop to get job done.I have dell.I bought it in black friday for $300.So i think you can get dell laptops pretty cheap.And they have internet and web camera in build.So try that1

Hope this will help

Answer 6

300+ dollars would get you a computer

The internet doesnt come with it just so you know....

You have to pay that separately

Answer 7

As per you need i'll suggest you to go for a proc. wich is around 2 to 2.4 giga, 256mb RAM, 15inch conventional monitor with basic keyboard and mouse.

All this shoud come very well around 300USD (not more than 350).

If you wud like to go for a second hand comp then u'll get it dirt cheap, which wont be more than 150USD
