Cheers everyone!
I'm a college student that's gotten by with using the Computer Center PCs the past two years. I'm tired of it at this point and want to buy my own. The problem is that, while I'm fine with using everything on a computer, I don't know what kind of hardware it'll take to get the performance I'm really interested in.
I'm looking for a desktop PC that will fill these functions:
-Plenty of storage
-Good processor
-Efficient online (both loading pages and downloading files)
-CD/DVD burning
-A non-energy eating monitor
-Capable of running console emulation smoothly (Hey, I don't need the graphics to run WoW, but I'd like to do something between papers)
And then there's software. Sigh.
What do you guys suggest for these kinds of specs? From whom do I trust to buy a pre-built computer? And what's the cheapest way to get a MS Office package?
And how much do I have to spend on this? Well, think of this old Family Guy quote:
"We have the technology. We can rebuild him. But, I don't want to spend a lot of money."
*clink clank clunk clank*
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
