I am currently looking for a new computer to call my very own, but am on a budget. Hopefully some of you will be able to help me get a good deal, but here is a list of what will and will not work.
1. I don't need a preassembled computer. I have operating systems on cd-roms, I know how to put together a computer from a barebones kit, so that should save a bit of money.
2. Data storage need not be excessive. 100 or 200 GB is fine.
3. Graphics card... this will probably be the main investment. Obviously it has to run games well, but it doesn't need to be top of the line, as I tend to play older games more often.
4. Mouse and keyboard... no frills, optical mouse, plain keyboard.
5. Monitor... can the new thin LCD ones actually be trusted? I still use a CRT. If it turns out my old CRT still works, I can save the cost of a new monitor.
6. Speakers. Probably looking at no frills again, but a subwoofer would be nice.
