Well I'm currently using my brother's computer and the monitor is just starting to act up. My old computer had the same problem until the monitor just finally decided to not work on with the computer. The problem is that the menu on the monitor constantly continues to pop up. When I try to hit the menu keys to exit it they either don't work or the menu goes away for a few seconds.

The monitor is an eMachine eView 17F3 CRT.

I was just using my computer and the screen locks when i am on the internet. I have thousands of dollars in software on my computer. If the computer doesn't work, can i still transfer my files from my old computer to the new one? How? The computer is 1.75 years old. no warranty. It wouldn't restart until after 10 times of messing with it. i left the computer in the car. it small drops of ice(on the keyboard letters) turn to water when i brought it in from the cold.

I am worried about hardware compatibility, and most importantly, whether the hardware will work harmoniously together and whether I can get all the power out of the parts I buy. I don't want to put a load of money in it if I can't get what it's worth out of it, ya know?
So basically, I'm wondering if prebuilt PCs from say Dell have hardware chosen based on compatibility, and how I can achieve this kind of harmony and efficiency?
Thanks!
