It depends on how high of speed you want to go. Computer prices vary from as little as $300-$3000+. For extremely high performance I would reccomend at least 3GB RAM, at least 3 GHZ of processing power, and multiple hard drives, preferrably at least 500GB total HD space. For high performance, I would reccomend at least 1.5GB RAM, 2.5GHZ, and 300GB HD. For prices, I reccomend http://tigerdirect.com/ . Good luck!

You can assemble your own PC which will make it really affordable.
Learn how to do this at http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/ and http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/ .
AMD 64 Athlon is the best affordable Processor you can can go in for. Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe is the best affordable motherboard that's compatible with this. Get at least 1 GB RAM and a 160 GB Hard disc. Buy a good DVD Rewriter, tower, monitor, speakers, microphone, webcam, keyboard and mouse. Since you can now afford it with the money you saved by opting to DIY [Do It Yourself], buy a good printer/scanner/copier.
Now, just follow the step-by-step instructions from the tutorials.
You'll save, at least, 40 % of the price of Branded Computer when you Build it Yourself. A laptop would cost you, at least, 50 % more than a desktop.
When buying the parts for your computer, ensure that they are in the original packing and that the packing is not tampered with. Before buying the parts, etc, go around to as many retailers as you can and compare their prices. Most of these guys will offer to assemble it for you free of cost, so that'll save you doing all the hard work.
All the best.
Cheers

I would be more than happy to help you pick one out, but I need a little more information. Computers can range in price from about $500 to $3000, and the more you spend the better they are. So it really comes down to, how much are you willing/able/ready to spend. If you could drop me an email with that info, plus what do you plan on doing with the new computer, I could give you an informed answer.

For gaming it incredibly is all with regards to the video card. you desire a solid CPU (2.4 GHz a minimum of, intel middle 2 duo or in spite of the fact that the the equivalent AMD chip is) and solid RAM (2GB of DDR2) besides yet without extreme end video card you're no longer likely to get the gaming overall performance you like. recently it incredibly is going to be a PCI exhibit x16 card with a minimum of 256 of RAM. there are a number of ideas available. My very own prevalent perfect now's the ATI X1950 XT.
