HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC M7780N

[WeatherGeek]

Hey guys, I'm currently running a Gateway PC which I want to upgrade some time within the next 6 months. CircuitCity offers this HP Pavillion system which looks pretty nice (I will likely upgrade the graphics card at a later time when more DX10 cards come out, and also may get a new monitor , currently have a gateway 17" lcd)

Please tell me what you think...any other suggestions for new computers.... or any problems you see with this computer. Thanks for your input!

[P.S.-Building a computer is not much of an option for myself btw]

Why is building not an option? It's incredibly easy, and you save a TON of money.

I suppose I could if i really learned, but I'm 13, and not sure if I'd be able to easily find all the parts I need and safely put them together.

I built a computer at 13, and I know alot of members here that started alot younger.

Take a look at the http://www.computerforum.com/16363-building-computers-101-a.html guide, speficially step 7.

that isn't a bad system at all. It's a tad expensive, my system was under $1000. All HP computers use MSI motherboards with a PCI-E slot, so you will want to upgrade the video. You could look at the one I have, toss in a 7900 and you'll be good to go. End up spending a bit less as well.
