Choose the best options, but don't exceed $1800.

Do you need an OS with it?

Jason · « **Reply #21 on:** October 27, 2008, 04:30:13 PM »

I don't think so, I think we'll be transferring the hard drive from my current PC to the new one.

are you on Vista currently? because if you're on XP, there's no need to get 4gb RAM

Get a radeon x300.

LULZ TORQUE MADE JOKZ

Nah I'm on XP, and I know it only takes 2gb, but dad seems to be going for the 'bigger is better' approach.

Uhm, you said you want to use the system for "everything", well then to get all the "power" out of that system, I'd recommend to use a 64bit OS, Vista Ultimate x64 for an example. The difference between 32bit and 64bit is for an example the RAM usage. You can use 4GB RAM with 32bit, and you can use like 128GB RAM with 64bit. I know that nobody these days has that much RAM, but who knows what's coming in the future.
