I am currently using a desktop system I bought in January 2012 as a refurb from a local computer repair shop, so whatever OS and hardware innards it has is what it had when came to me. Works fairly well, but I fear it is getting quickly outdated, especially with the CPU and RAM. I as just looking for advice on what to look for if I decide to get a new system. I don't need a really high-end system, but one that will be good for mainly Internet browsing and playing a few simple online games. Also, be advised that I can't make online purchases, so I would have to get it from a brick and mortar store. I'm willing to pay between $200 and $400. Here are the specs of my current tool:

Thanks, zep. After reading this, just one question: Would a computer with an SSD drive be able to interface with a traditional external hard drive?

Hello,

"SSDs are a clearly superior drive format, but they're more expensive per gigabyte than their platter-based hard disk drives. The natural middle ground is to get an SSD for your Windows installation and an HDD for all your stuff." And they should work together fine.

Thanks
