When you are in the market for a computer, you need to know exactly what you want. There are many different computers out there, and all of them will do the basics like run Microsoft Office, and go on the Internet. What you need to look out for though, is if you are wanting to run heavier applications such as games, you will need a high amount of RAM, and a hefty processor, along with a good graphics card. The graphics card will make or break your gaming experience. But you also need to think of how much you are willing to spend for a computer. When you have thought about what you want to use it for, and how much you want to spend, go to that store, and make that commission based salesperson a very happy employee.
