Question [Answered]Could you recommend a desktop for me?

I currently own a Toshiba Satellite Notebook. It's good and everything but when it comes to games, I have trouble playing online multiplayer 2-D games (I wouldn't even try 3-D), playing DVDs, and anything else having to do with graphics. I rather use it for travel, music, and school work.

My Current Computer Specs:

Toshiba A105 Satellite Notebook
Windows XP SP2
1.70 Ghz Intel Celeron M Processor
1 GB RAM
80 Gb Hard Drive
ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Graphics Card 64 MB
Realtek HD Audio Sound Card


I'm looking for a desktop that's reasonably priced. One that will handle gaming well (able to play World of Warcraft without problems), not extreme gaming though. I aslo do a lot of audio and video editing. If you can't recommend a specific desktop, could you recommend the specs I should be looking for?

i can reccomend a couple for you. however, you will have to buy an aftermarket graphics card to achieve good graphics capabilities. so i will suggest a couple for you

Hewlett-Packard - Pavilion 4800+ Desktop - a6030n

Here is the computer i recomend,. it is a good computer, i helped my grandmother pick it out, it runs very well. and for a graphics card i recomend this one BFG - GeForce 8500 GT Graphics Card - BFGR85256GTE

Both are very good deals. The desktop is practically a steal for a prebuilt. This combination will play your games, movies, and do music and video editing very well. I recomend going to the store to get the computer. when you buy it, pay the little bit extra to have geek squad to a registy cleaner, it will increase your performace substantially

Thanks, I'll probably get that, but does anyone else have other suggestions?

Dell computers are good, they have good deals too

Check 'em out at Find a Notebook, Desktop, Server, Printer, Software, Service, Monitor or TV at Dell.
Compare the specs and prices to the one recommended above.
