What is a good desktop computer to buy?
I am looking into purchasing a new desktop computer. I already have the monitor, mouse, keyboard & speakers. So i only need the tower. My limit is probably about 0. I need something with lots of memory, and pretty fast. This will be used mainly for business which involves a lot of pictures & movies & music. Nothing refurbished or used. Brand new. I would like to go into a store and purchase it, not just online. I like to see what I buy before I pay for it. Anyway…any suggestions?

I build custom PCs, but when someone needs one that’s from a stock manufacturer I usually suggest an HP of some sort. Even Acer makes pretty good computers you could probably find an Acer with more memory for slightly less price than other brands. Just avoid an E-Machines computer at all costs.
Building a custom PC is a lot of fun and can save you money, but you need to know what you are doing. Like I have built a few of my own and had lots of fun doing it. If you know what you are doing, then..
-4GB of RAM so that you can run windows 7 64 bit
-i say a dual core AMD or intel (cough)AMD is better(cough) although if you like to run multiple applications at a time then get a triple or quad core processor
-since there wont be any games on here, find a motherboard with onboard graphics, such as the ASUS M3A76-CM good luck:O
i have heard people were happy with e-machine as a product.
