Dont go name brand, usually they try to tip you off for crappy products but you could build a pc on a online part store like monarch or newegg for the same price or better.DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO NAME BRAND!!!! www.newegg.com

There should be an option when you're building your PC that will let you pick up a copy of XP.

I would check out cyberpowersystem.com and the weekly special in the top middle has free shipping. For what you want this would be a good comp and you would be ready for any 64bit programs that come out, though you probably won't be required to have 64bit for years.

I came up with a

As everybody said, don't go name brand. Go with monarch computer, or you could try a local mom-and-pop computer store in your area. The name brands rip you off and also use proprietary hardware to prevent you from upgrading it.

Use monarch, they will build it for you...
Dont buy name brand like Dell, Compaq etc
U can get an excellent computer for your needs for $650-$850....max.

as every one else stated, don't go name brand. any company that is big enough to custom make parts is not a good choice. definately no sears.
