Smile Please help me with my computer!
Hello to all.

I am looking at buying a new computer but I dont know anything about computers.
I was hoping someone out there could help me with a review of my computer
My computer specs are as follows
AMD Am2 4000 Dual Core CPU
Asus M2NX motherboard
Kingston 1g PC5300 single 667mhz
Wd 320gb KS 16mb Sata 2
Asus 1814L black
256MB Asus 2400pro
20'' V7 lcd
foxconn TSAA861
Ms Desktop 500 wired usb/ps2
Assembled

all that for $790 Australian dollars.
Is this an acceptable deal?
Is there anything i could say or suggest to to the computer shop to make the computer better? and is there any upgrades or extra stuff i should consider? (my budget is $900)
I use this computer mainly for internet and maybe a game or two but nothing like extreme games.
Thanks

The specs look pretty good to me. I don't know about the price since I'm in the US. Prices differ by country. Now is your computer custom made or are you buying it from a large company like Dell or HP?

Try going to www.komando.com. select her 'buying guide tab' that will give you a pretty good idea what specs. you should look for.
good luck
