Getting a new computer! Which one should I get?

Question

We basically need a computer that has a lot of memory, a good video card. It needs to run microsoft programs (word, powerpoint, excel, publisher, access), store a lot of music and photo files, allow my mum to run her online buisness without any delays (does that rely on the processor, if so we need a fast one), and plus it has to run high-tech games such as The Sims 2, Black and White 2, and battlefield 1942. We are also thinking of getting Windows Vista - I've heard that many people don't like it, is this because it's hard to understand at first or does it have actual problems.
We also want wireless internet- which one would you say is best?
Finally- we want to get a wireless keyboard and mouse. Are there any problems with these?

Which computer do you think will be best for us?
We would preferably want to get the computer from these shops:

Answer 1

First off, the only reason why people don't like Vista is because it is basically WindowsXP with a facelift. Sure, there are a few differences, but it's practically the same (not to mention, I've had a few problems with Vista--and it's spendy too).

Second, wireless peripherals are not that great for gaming (some average ones have slow response times). I suggest sticking with the normal wired peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc.)

Final, most anything will work for the business part. The game part, you'll want at least 128mb graphics, 1gb RAM, and a 100gb hard drive. These are MINIMUM requirements, I would suggest fronting the money for good stuff.

Answer 2

Looking for High End Computer? May I suggest Dell computer. They have the best technical support incase you might be having problems or things you want to know in the future. Well, all computer do encounter problems in the future, right?.
