Desktop PC

For many, the computer industry seems like an impenetrable, jargon filled jungle. This guide will help demystify the personal computer and provide the information you need to make a good shopping decision on a new PC.
A few years ago, if you were looking for a computer with enough power to edit video you needed to spend several thousand dollars on upgrades. Now video editing is standard fare for the latest generation of personal computers PC's are less expensive with more capabilities than ever before.
So what will your new computer be used for? Work, surfing the internet or playing that hot new game you heard so much about? Who will be using the computer and what are their interests? Likely, you'll need to accommodate a combination of these requirements, if not all of them.
Since most personal computers sold today offer similar capabilities, the decision about which one has to do with specialty. If you're looking for the best gaming experience you'll spend more on a 3D graphics card. If you want to mix your own music you'll buy a better sound card. If you will be using it for work all day, you'll invest in a better monitor. To get the best value, spend your money on the components that best suit your needs.
