I prefer Intel computers.
Just remember, what makes a system fast, is everything and how well it's all matched together. I prefer the Penium 4; the Celeron computers have a bad habit of pausing while playing videos.
Make sure you have at least 512 Megs of RAM. And find out how many slots are available on the motherboard for your ram. I recommend at minimum of three so you don't have to swap out RAM for better upgrades. Also, find out what is the maximum amount of RAM available.
Your hard drive should be at least 8MB 7200 rpm and at least 160 gig. I'd recommend installing a second hard drive for a backup in case your primary hard drive fails.
Get a DVD burner; they only cost a few dollars more than a CD burner.
Look for USB plugs in the back of the computer. Two plugs are good, but I recommend at least four.
One component of computers you should look into would be upgrading to SATA.

ibuypower, love em it could be that i have a thing for the underdog, or possibly because the make really good PC's and Laptops. In my honest (and professional opinion) they are the best and least known out there.
Alienware was good until dell bought them. Now there just more expensive dells.

I've always found HP Pavillion computers reliable and inexpensive. Plus you can usually get it bundled with a lots of great software, printer, digital camera, flat screen moniotgr/optical mouse and keyboard.

so you want a PC and dont care how much it is? well buy a custom made £7000 pc?
how about saying what your intentions of what it is going to be used for? no point buying alienware (overpriced, overclocked) if your going to be word processing and sending the odd email...
Dell, has the market really... superb prices because of how much wholesale they buy at once... go dell

Dell or Compaq (which is owned by HP). Forget the eMachine - yuk! Sony isn't there yet. In terms of features, call them, describe what you want the machine to do and after you choke on the cost, decide what you need..

http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Area-51_7500/area-51_overview.aspx?SysCode=PC-AREA51-7500-R5&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT i AGREE WITH CHUSTLE707. hes actaully the top memeber at overclocking.net, so just belive him! hew would prefer you build your own comp, because you save your money and you get a s*tload more out ur pc, but as far as just buying it retail or w..e, get alineware, they are truly the best computers i have ever used (they almost match up to my grandfathers supercomputer hehe) well not really, but its close, and the one i showed you is only 1k and it was close to matching up wiht a 5k computer. crazy huh?

i prefer dell, if you want the best, then just buy the most expensive one. go to dell.com and look at the best computer they have there, they dont have alot so its easy to look through.
