I need help on deciding on which computer to buy. I currently have 4 computers in mind, which seems ok in my eye. I'm not looking for anything BRAND NEW, just something to upgrade from my current one (its about 6 years old, rofl).
btw, these aren't listed in any specific order, i just c/p the link

http://www.pcrichard.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=63142&parentCategoryId=4&categoryId=110000&subCategoryId=110010&
^-- this one looks cool
I might end up adding parts later on if I ever need to.
just to remind you guys, I'm not looking for something that I could run a business with, just something to upgrade from my current pc.
If you guys have a different computer in mind, tell me/give me a link. I'm trying to stick below $600 atm.
P.S. I only need this for some games, a lot of music/videos, and just a faster computer.

So you just want a regular computer to like do essays on and play the occasional mmorpg? I would suggest the HP pavilion A62220N

I would go with the HP Pavilion A6220N too. It's just better than the others.

The HP you mentioned has integrated graphics, not a wise choice if you plan to game at all.

Let me point out that none of them has particularly good graphics (all of them, at least the ones I saw, have integrated graphics).
One exception is the Inspiron, but the processor is obsolete (or close).

have any computers in mind that you guys would pick?
i just checked the inspiron right now, and it seems u can change the processor to one of the following
Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo E6420 (2.13GHz, 1066MHz FSB)
Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo E6320 (1.86GHz, 1066MHz FSB)
Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo E4400 2160 (2.0GHz, 800Mhz FSB)
Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo E4300 (1.8GHz, 800MHz FSB)
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core 2160 (1.8GHz, 800MHz FSB)
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core 2140 (1.6GHz, 800MHz FSB)
Intel® Celeron® Processor 420 (1.6GHz, 800FSB)
Intel® G33 Express Chipset
the one u probably looked at was the Intel Celeron. i might end up getting Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core 2160 or Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo E4400.
