Computers updated to include Windows 7 Home Premium Specifications

I want to upgrade, or build a new computer, but I don't know what I should get?

This is a common question among upgraders. A very common problem is that some people
don't know what they need or what will still be usable in a few years.
With today's brand new technology, that question *should be moot for at least 5 or 6 years,
unfortunately time and technology don't stop marching forward.
I'm not including fixed prices in here because they fluxuate so rapidly, but I will put price guesstimates.

Mix and Match your own computer and style to fit your needs!
Please remember these are SAMPLES and are not confined to what I have listed here.

All price figures are estimates and highly likely to change.

AMD is great for gamers or overall use, Intel's Dual Core line is Intel's latest powerhorse, great for multitasking and large workloads.
