As a christmas present this year my parents have decided to get me my first desktop computer, only they are leaving everything to me to pick out and decide. This is my first year of HS, so I don't know too much about computers. I play mmorpg's and halo at my friends house, I want to be able to do the same on my own. My family has had macs in the past, but I wanted a dell or hp. So far from what I've read I need:
i7 intel core
at least 6gb memory
750gb hard drive - I can get up to 1tb
A really good Graphics card ~ that I have no idea about ~
built in wireless internet
That is pretty much as far as I've gotten. I wonder if there is a computers for dummies book?
Here are the questions I was told to answer.
Number 1: Where are you located? Anchorage AK
Number 2: How much are you willing to spend? around 1k
Number 3: What will you primarly use the computer for? Gamming, Word Documents, Photos, power points, internet.
Number 4: Which online stores/reatil shops do you prefer to buy from? Best Buy, amazon. Willing to find better options with advice.
Number 5: If you have doubts about anything, ask us! We are here to help. I really don't know about anything that I should be looking for, this computer is supposed to last me through college.
Number 6: What Programs/Tasks/Games will you run on the computer? MMorpg games, halo, word documents, sims3, internet explorer.
Number 7: Are you willing to go over budget? If so by how much? Limited budget.
Number 8: Do you need anything besides the computer itself? (monitor, keyboard, operating system) Moniter
