Student-
You need the computer for gaming, listening to music and doing homework, of course. Here’s what I would suggest are the main things you should look for when buying a computer:


-modem
- a basic printer
-MUST HAVE A AGP SPOT
-a pretty high memory card
-high hard disk (ex. 200Gb...)
-good processor-
CD-RW or a DVD-RW optical drive
*refurbished computer
- the computer had been used before, and it underwent repair. This could be a cheap solution to pretty high system requirements.
*-> Well this is what you could get with your computer.
