New business PC

[mxrider]

Well, after 8 years of having the company that I am contracted with supply all my technology, I have been told that I need to start footing the bill. I need to order a new PC by Monday and was looking at the following and looking for some advice/input as I generally just push a button and say ship it when I order a pc. I have upgraded some things from the base such as memory, processor, hard drive. Thoughts:

To me it seems like some stuff is way upgraded and others is totally base level stuff.

What sort of stuff do you do on your computer and what are you looking for from it.

BTW, you can normally turn off the monitors if you already have one. Those will cost 100-300 normally.

Primarily being used to access the internet portal to the company I am contracted with to process insurance applications. I don't need a lot of high end video. Will be installing my poker clients on there but that is completely secondary. I upgraded the ram and hard drive as I don't want that to limit me. As for the monitor, I do have a monitor but that will be coming home with my other pc that I currently use at work (seperate from the business pc). I will also be using my accounting software on it.

Well the 4GB of RAM is quite a large amount and I bet that the system would have troubles with it's processor running enough stuff to even take up 4GB of RAM. If you are looking to save some money you could drop that back to 3GB easily and never tell the difference. You have a decent processor that should serve you fine. The video card is pretty crap and going to be more of a limiting factor than most things on your computer and it will also make it difficult to upgrade to a 30 in monitor if you are ever looking to do that.

Again, if you aren't looking to do any high end work on this, drop your amount of RAM because you have other limiting factors and won't be able to use that much. 250GB of space is a decent amount if you aren't looking to do mass downloading like me. I think you should be fine though.
