Should You Upgrade Or Buy A New System?

Advice On Buying a New PC

As far as pricing goes the systems that are based off technology that is at least a year old will offer the best price points and where you can get a really good deal.  You can find the best of these deals online more likely than at Fry’s or Best Buy as these types of companies concentrate more on the latest systems than anything else. Dell and HP are actually a really good source for these types of PCs as they have overstock and returns by the shipload. If you must go buy a system in a major seller just look for things like upgrade ability and current features such as, is the system a Dual Core Or a Quad Core? If you buy off the shelf and can afford it, buy the best, as the worst is usually only a few dollars cheaper than the best at this level of buying.

The other people are a bit of a different animal and they like the hassle and eventual outcome of building something a bit more personal. Either way there are deal to be had if you don’t need the price tag that comes with the latest thing.
