If you are willing to put in the effort, it might be worthwhile to invest in the separate PC components (motherboard, CPU, graphics card, sound card, etc) and build your own computer instead of buying one. I have not had the best of times with pre-built computers as most tend to lack something that I need, and I have also found that upgrading pre-built computers can be troublesome. I have heard that Dell's pre-built computers are especially restrictive: if you want to upgrade Dell computers, you must used components developed by Dell (apparently!). Building your own computer gives you the freedom to mix and match as you please, with the only limitation being the physical limitations of all the components and the logical limitation of the motherboard (e.g you can't fit 10GB of memory onto a motherboard that can only handle up to 8GB of memory). In addition to mixing and matching different components, building your own computer can be excellent fun!

If you don't know much about pc's then buy a complete at once, desktop preferred is better than laptop and cheaper.. If you know a bit more about pc's make one yourself, order components and put them together.. Else if you really want to go with graphics go with apple :D although it is expensive and other windows-based systems can do the same too.. Have a good day
