Need advice for buying a new computer!
So as you probably gathered, I'm looking to buy a new computer. I know a little bit about computers, but not a ton, so really fancy answers with lots of confusing terms might go over my head a little, just as a warning, so you may have to explain (I understand about mb/gb, video cards, memory, and that sort of thing, but some of the other terms confuse me). I'm looking for one that isn't too expensive (I'd like to keep it under 800-900 american dollars), and I've been asking around at different places but thought a forum like this might be the most helpful because you guys really know your stuff. I found one computer that I like, the link is here: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/ultra6000.asp?v=d
But I don't know if this is a good place to buy from, or what. The computer as shown there is about 550 dollars, but when I added what I wanted it came out around 800, or a little over. I want it mostly for general use, I'm not going to overload it in that sense, but I also want to be able to put The Sims 2 on it, and have the game run smoothly and not take ages to do everything. For that purpose, I obviously need a lot of stuff. Mainly, I just want advice on whether this website would be a good idea to order from, but if you have other bits of advice those would be helpful too.
Sorry this is so long, I'm having a lot of trouble getting advice that is actually helpful, so I may have overdone it a little...Thanks in advance!
