So yeah, I'm definitely in the market for a new PC, this one is... 6 years old? And also a Dell, so yeah, can't upgrade this hunk of plastic very easily at all.
Seeing as every other computer I've ever used hasn't been mine, and I simply inherited this one, never actually done any computer shopping before. So I ask, anyone got any advice? Any good places to look? Brands to avoid? What things I should prioritize when looking at specs? Any ways to simplify this whole thing since I'm honestly kinda lost trying to settle on something. I'm in the $600 to $800 price range, fyi. So, any help would be really appreciated, people! Thanks!
