    Need a new desktop windows 10 computer, need advice...

    I have a 12 yr old windows 7 desktop which is now outdated, I’m looking for a windows 10 and need some advice. My old computer specs are:
    Intel (R) 2 Duo CPU
    3.00 GHZ
    RAM 4 GB
    16 Bit but not sure how big the hard drive is.
    I need a home computer for just browsing, Multi Tabs sometimes open, doing FaceBook, Emails, Web Cam Chatting and Phone Calls, watch YouTube video’s occasionally, I save a lot of pictures and download family video’s in my documents, I do no Streaming or Gaming. I found a windows 10 computer with:
    Intel Core i5
    3.2 GHZ
    16 GB Ram
    512 GB SSD
    64 Bit
    Would this be a good computer for my needs, I don’t mind going a little bigger just in case, or should I look for only 8 GB Ram and around 250 GB hard drive? I’m not sure on what to get with all the newer computer out there nowadays, besides I’m not good in all that Spec Info, any advice would be appreciated, thanks…

    Hi grantiman, Welcome to PCHF!

    What is your budget for a new computer? Would you prefer to buy a pre-built computer or build one yourself?

    Let me know.

    Thanks.

      I am going to buy pre-built computer tower, lot’s of desktop computers on sale seeing everyone is buying laptops nowadays. Once I know what size computer would fit my needs I can look for prices and see what is in my budget range. I’ve seen 8 GB Ram with 250+ GB hard drives and also 16 GB Ram with 500+ hard drives, there’s not much difference between the price but I’m not sure which size computer would be the best for me…

        Well what size computer are you looking for? Desktops come in mid tower, mini tower and large tower form factors. Also once we know what budget you have in mind then I can make recommendations accordingly for what computer would work for your needs.
