Options To Buy A New Computer.

I have been without a computer since 21st of December.I use my android phone since.Its time to buy a computer.I have continued saving up money.Now what do I do? I was using  a windows 7 so thats out of date.I guess starting with a windows 10 computer.I figured a 1TB harddrive will do.My old computer was just for internet mainly.And documents.I write a lot.Should I buy online or locally? I am open to suggestions.I think if I just buy a desktop case ready to plug in,that might save me money.

Thank you.

Regards @Denv12.

Re: Options To Buy A New Computer.

Hey @Denv12,

A place that I like to buy computer stuff from is MSY - they have stores in a few different states. They have a few different prebuilt desktops and also let you choose upgraded components. Here's a link to their office computer systems: https://www.msy.com.au/manufactured-pc

 

When I bought the parts for my desktop I got them from a few different stores and assembled it. Assuming you don't want a hassle I wouldn't recommend getting parts from different stores if you're in a hurry after my experience where I tried to save a bit of money that way, but ended up having to pay for a different graphics card when the store I was getting that from was out of stock. (because I had paid online, they were only offering store credit or buy a different graphics card - I probably could have fought harder over that but I just needed a pc so sucked it up) 

 

Depending on where you are you might have different stores you prefer. If you anticipate needing tech support sometimes it's good to go to a local one where they might be able to help, but otherwise I've found it can be just as good ordering stuff online.

Thanks for the reply @TheVortican.

I like MSY.Never bought a whole pc from there.I will see what they have.There are a lot of online shops for computers.

I am not savy enough to build a pc.I did ring dell last week but the salesperson couldnt speak loud enough to hear them.Thanks for your help.
