Buying a new computer is no small task. Making the right choice requires more than just knowing how fast your CPU needs to be or how big a hard drive you want--you need to have a good idea of just how you will use your new computer and a simple idea of what tass you and operations you would like to carry out.
Buying a computer means taking a look at many features: RAM (random-access memory), processor speed, graphics capability, hard disk space and so on. You can start right here....and remember nothing worth having comes easy.

Every website that sells computers has specials going on all the time and you can take advantage of the ones that work for you. Usually they are discounts or free items such as a printer when you buy a certain model computer. Since most of the models are upgradeable then you will be sure to get a good deal.
The gaming-PC market continues to grow at an exponential rate. Devoted gamers won't balk at spending more than $3000 on a computer to ensure that they enjoy maximum performance. Such PCs usually feature overclocked CPUs and dual-graphics-card setups.
Do not be fooled though: Gaming isn't just a bleeding-edge hobby anymore. Originally the domain of niche companies producing high-end machines, the gaming-PC market is now the battleground for bigger companies craving a piece of the action. That means you'll find a larger number of capable gaming computers at cheaper prices.
Generally it is a good idea to take into account how quickly technology changes and decide what you will need to satisfy your computer needs for a few years. There are also some computers that are easier to upgrade than others which could factor into your overall decision.
"It pays to be smart"

If you have particular needs, many PC vendors allow you to customize and upgrade their base-model PCs with a mind-boggling selection of features. Require extra storage? Pick a larger hard drive.
Want extra memory? Load up with 4GB of RAM. Ready to burn Blu-ray Discs or to watch HD DVD movies? Choose an optical drive that supports your preferred format.
Often the customer support will be available as a chat window that you can look at while going to different sections of the website, making it possible for you to discuss specific things about what you are looking at.
Once you've got everything you need in your cart you can pay online with your credit card through a secure area and have your computer shipped right to your door in as little as a few days.
Customer support is also an added benefit of buying a computer online.
Unlike going to a store where you may have to compete to get the attention of one of the employees, websites have multiple people online and ready to help you with any questions you might have about your new computer purchase.
Note: Always ask the questions that are on your mind...when you are buying a computer.
"The best place to be seen on the web"
Remember: Most manufacturers will have steps to lead you through the possible upgrades directing you to the part of the computer that can be upgraded and what options they have for it. You may even be able to get software pre-installed on your computer from programs like Photoshop to the latest Call of Duty game.
Happy shopping
