I need some help picking out a resonable computer..........
I don't want a high end gaming computer.........just something to browse the web, work on Word and Excel download music and videos....
fast processor is probably a plus.
2 TB storage........
CD burner
I'll edit and add more stuff If i think of any.

Oh and I'm not that good at building and installing software so building it is a neg.............
I probably could but would require a lot of help and guidance as far as what to purchase.

No gaming?
Do you have a monitor already?
How about keyboard/mouse?
I have some ideas.

IMO this is the criteria you should be looking for:
Intel Core i3/i5/i7 3xxx or 4xxx series processor with a speed at or above 3.0ghz, core i5 4460 or higher preferred
8GB of RAM, more is fine but you won't notice the difference above 8
At least 6 USB ports, at least 2 of them should be blue USB 3.0 ports
Unless you want to do 3D gaming or you're going to be watching 4k video there's no need for dedicated graphics
If I were buying for a family member to surf and multitask without any gaming needs, I'd get this computer and add a 64-128GB SSD to it:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220694
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LX7LUU8/
Then you'll want a monitor of at least 22" and 1920x1080 resolution that takes an HDMI input. I prefer 24" and IPS type screens.
-
Thanks MD.
appreciate all the suggestions.
-
NP, good luck with your search.
Or buy this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883266525
And if you fill up the 1tb drive then you can buy an external for under $100
Or, This dell with only a 1tb hard drive but the same specs as the other two AND a 24" dell monitor for $680
-
DAMM that Dell deal is sweeeeeeeeet............
did that 30% off come off automatically or did you have to enter those codes on there?
in other words how do I get the same deal?
-
How I got that in my cart:
Go here:
http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-3847-desktop/pd?oc=fdcart201w7&model_id=inspiron-3847-desktop
Add "Dell 24 monitor - E2414H" to build sheet under the monitors section
Don't change anything else (unless you want warranty/support/etc)
Add to cart
When pop up asks you about adding more stuff, just scroll to bottom and click green button to go to cart.
Next page will show you a Subtotal: $919.98 then click the green button on right to "proceed to cart"
Scroll towards bottom, enter following codes one at a time:
TRQ3ZW?$J6HQ2T
F78SC8K2DCH8T4
New subtotal should match the one I screen shot.
