I am error
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi everyone! Smile

X-Mas was a few days ago and i got crap loads of cash ( 650$ to be exact :P ) and i was already saving before so now I end up with a total of 853,73$ ( Canadian money :wink: ) and i really suck in computer specs.
So this is why i'm asking you guys to help me.


This is what i would like to be able to do on my computer:

- Surf the interwebs (Youtube, google, facebook ...) daily without having lagg if i have more then 6 tabs opened
- Play minecraft [ Host a server? ] about three times / week
- Watch movies ( I have a external hard drive of 1TB so i won't be needing that much space )
- I would like having Wi-Fi already in the computer ( But is it better to buy something else and install it?)
- talk on skype while doing basicly anything and not lagging
-IF POSSIBLE - Playing big games eg: Skyrim , MW3 ... ( if this ends up having me buying a computer that will cost me over 850$... nvm that i'll play on my ps3 Smile


I Don't know what to look for in the specs of the computer
Like the RAM : i know that the more you have the better it is and that you should have usualy 4GB
Processor : Wtf?:wtf:... what should i have ?
...



Is it possible for you guys to explain to me basicly what i will need to have in my computer and/or try helping me find one ?

I Hope i can get a decent computer with only 850$.
Thanks for your help Winky Winky

PS. NO MAC D=

EDIT: I DON'T want to build my own computer or get it built by someone else i barely know/trust since i wont have a warrenty and shit like that. i'd rather buy it at a store

Hosting servers eats up a ton of RAM AND Bandwidth. You need both.

For $860 you're better off with either a VAIO or building your own computer with bargained parts :P

I just bought a Sony VAIO (laptop although your looking for a desktop) and it works absolutely great. I can run major games like MW2 on it. I do not suggest anything by Apple, or Alienware. They just suck your money in it. I got this beauty for $499 (US). Runs perfect and smooth.
