I currently have a laptop that I use for most everything, (school, light gaming, etc).
However, it has a atix1400 so it runs what I need it to, however I'm looking for a little more power, as well as a screen larger than the 14.1in widescreen the laptop has.
I've been tossing ideas around as to whether I should build a desktop myself (I only have limited experience, upgraded ram in a few systems, as well as a video card, not sure if I won't to build my own system yet), or purchase something already built.
I don't need super great graphics, but I would have to start the build from scratch, keyboard, mouse, monitor, OS... everything. Also my budget is fairly limited, 600ish or so to start i guess, but this could go either way, so I was wondering if the easiest alternative would be to purchase something pre-built, (dell, etc.) and get a good deal on a monitor included, and then upgrade the video card later.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
