So you are going to have a personal computer but feel like a follower ready to be following when you walk into the computer shop there are lots of sales people leading you to the most expensive computers?

This guide is intended at helping you choose the right desktop personal computer. There are number of different things to consider when choosing a laptop or computer, so I'll write a different guide for that. Here, we'll focus on the computers that will sit on or under your desk. I won't mention price in here, otherwise the article will be outdated pretty quickly...

So, actually we are focusing on what's the basic difference between a low budget computer and the most expensive ones? Firstly, if you think that the very costly personal computer in the showroom is as much powerful as they come and that it would play all your games extremely well, you are greatly mistaken. No, the truth is the models for sale in big shops are expensive because of their brands.

First of all you have to decide what you need the computer for. Actually this is a surplus question because I know what you need it for. I've had more experience helping people with computers than I'd like, and when someone tells you they're not interested in playing games on it, there soon follows a disappointed child or young adult moaning that the computer is so slow. Realistically you should aim for something mid-range, and not go for the absolute minimum you need. You only need a powerful computer if you intend to use software that requires all that oomph (it's very unlikely to be you, otherwise you'd already know) and the latest games. If, like most people you just want to surf the Internet, listen to music, create documents and edit photos, then you really only need to aim just above the cheapest computers.

Now for the disclosure. If you buy the cheapest budget new computer today, it will probably run Windows XP operating system very fast and you'll be pleased with it. If besides you run Windows Vista, it'll be utterly slow and you'll wish you could pay for something a lot faster. The problem is very few new computers come with XP, and even more annoying the new models sometimes don't have hardware that is compatible for XP (the drivers are only for Vista).
