Hi guyz ! I am planning to buy a PC !! And i am planning to buy a PC from Dell, Dell Dimension 8200. Actually , i wanted to buy a DIY PC. But , as i am a ' not soooo good ' user and if i have problems , i may not be able to fix the problem in my PC. And furthermore , there won't be anyone to help me ! And of course , i can't come to Anandtech's forum to ask my problems as my PC is already spoilt !!
And if i buy Dell , and if i have problems with my PC , I would of course , go to Dell and they would fix my problems without any difficulties !
And now , i am cracking my head to see which is the best configuration ! I need a PC to suit the things i do. I need a PC to play games and use applications ( More of applications ! ) And also the price !! Anyway , the price should also be gooood. I mean , low ! Anyway, here is my configuration ( I think ) Feel free to give me any recommendations or advice !!

if you can fork out some extra $... get more ram (since you're running XP...it's always better to have more RAM) and upgrade your 3D card to a better one...that'll last u awhile before u need to do another upgrade =)
