This article will guide you through the choices you make and advice about what to choose.
To answer this question correctly, you have to decide which type of user you are and what special needs you have. In addition, you must determine how much to spend and if you think a computer should be used or refurbished.
General Guidelines
In general, my opinion, we should design the best computerthey can afford to do without a real beginning of the line.
Computer technology is changing fast and super fast computers can now be quickly obsolete. If you are interested in sharing your computer, often you are a very powerful computers today should be at least a couple of years.
The top model of the computer requires a price premium usually is not worth it, and a lower level of at least 95% of the capacity of the upper part.
If yourBudget does not allow this solution, you must be aware of the compromises in the choice you have to do.
Select the type of computer
You must first decide whether you want a laptop or desktop computer. I have reviewed in detail the issues in my article with the headline or laptop? The most important question is whether you have capacity to be mobile, even if your computer is more expensive and perhaps less.
Depending on finances, youcan opt for the computer used for a special occasion or skin rash. Large savings can be achieved in this way by.
However, the computer supports this challenge and the risk of early termination. Low-cost computers can be limited trading in the ultimate capacity and must be evaluated carefully. I hope to discuss these options in detail in a forthcoming article.
3D physical play is a whole new world and usually the limits of current computer technology moves at the beginning of the linepowerful and expensive equipment, and it is beyond the scope of this article.
Selection of components
First processor
If money is no issue, the single-core computers should not be bought. Dual-core processors are more powerful and should be fine for most users, the computer processor dual-core basis for the standardization sufficient activities such as word processing, e-mail, browsing the Internet, DVDs, personal finances and the vast majority of the other tasks .
If you need toNot query databases cumbersome, complex mathematical calculations and number crunching or heavy encryption, you should be a high-end processors.
2nd Operating System
Starting from a Windows PC, the choice is between XP and Vista. Vista Service Pack 1 (a collection of patches for known problems of the operating system) has not been officially released and the first service pack is usually a big difference. My opinion is that if there is a choice, Vista shouldbe avoided until SP1 is officially released.
If you are very familiar with Windows XP and do not want to learn a new OS or if you have a program that is not yet supported on Vista have to fight, you can do everything XP need not worry and you can ask if your provider allows this option.
If you select Vista as a minimum, you should not get Vista Home Basic, but rather to choose Vista Home Premium. For a maximum power of OS, Vista Ultimate should be chosen. Advanced optionsfor Windows Vista are described in my article, I use Vista?
3rd Monitor
A 17 "monitor is probably the smallest you settle for. You can use the biggest, if you want to select. Some monitors come with integrated speakers, if it suits your needs. If you want your computer as an entertainment center, double, you should consider purchasing a high definition monitor or plasma. Dell has an excellent summary of their choice here

4thMemory
The most important factor in relation to the performance of the computer is the size of the memory. If you choose a computer memory, at least a gigabyte of main memory at high speed to buy art operating systems and advanced programs to support. 2 GB would be even better.
If you are engaged in heavy graphics such as CAD (Computer Aided Design) or 3D games, or if there is an Access database or serious calculations, more space should be added.
5thHard disk size
The major manufacturers offer gigabytes of storage 250GB at the lowest end computers. This should more than sufficient for most users.
6th CD and DVD burner
Readers who read and write CDs and DVDs are cheap, and you need to specify read and write to both. Accept not read CD / DVD read, just write.
Blue Ray and HD DVD discs can store up to 50 gigabytes, but the readers for their use is much more expensive than the standardDVD player. Standard DVD will take about $ 50, while Blue Ray costs about $ 600.
7th Video Card
The type of card you get depends on the type of activity you plan;
1st Films word processing database user - Internet browsing, e-mail and DVD
The base map is sufficient for that. At least 128 MB. Two cards, the 7300GT from Nvidia and ATI 1300XT.
2nd Vista Aero or the play of light, rich media, and the generalEntertainment
This ability requires an average level of graphics card and power clean are acquired with 256 MB internal memory needs. A model of ATI HD2600XT would
3rd Edit and view color photos
An intermediate card must be used for this purpose. One example is the NVidia 8600, all cards of this level and have up to 256 MB.
4th The Play in HD-quality content
The card should have HDMI outputs, connect to external displays. 2Nvidia 8600GT or ATI HD2600XT are possibilities.
5th 3D accelerated games in high-definition player, CAD (Computer Aided Design), video editing or high-level graphics
3D games makes greater demands on the video system computer and the sky is the limit here. In general, the highest card in your system offer the rewarding experience.
The detailed options for each of these levels of activity are described in my article CardsDemystified.
