I think you might want to learn what the kid wants to do with his computer before argueing about whats best for him. buying a 300$ computer seems better if hes gonna fap to porn on it and play melty blood until he can afford something thatll run crysis 2.
Not much of a porn person, but whatever xD.
Basically I just want something better than what I have now. My PC is fine, but if MBAA is coming out, dammit, lol.
All I do on this pc is do school assignments, surf the web, chat, make art, and play games. That's pretty much it... I think. I have a few games... Melty, uh... halo 1 xD, stepmania, etc.. As you can see, I'm not much of a serious PC gamer, but I'm fine. I don't need something that will let me play Crysis (although that would be satisfying). I'm saying this because I'm putting into consideration that I don't have as much money as maybe... most/all of you on this thread.
(Let's see... I'm looking at dxdiag and System Properties, and it says my Processor is Intel(R) Celeron (TM) CPU 1300MHz, 256 RAM... 1.29GHz
and my video card is
pathetic. RADEON 7000.
