Actually this thread has nothing to do with transformers just looking at advice and other pitfalls for upgrading my computer as this will be my first time upgrading. I have had my current computer for over 4 years adn it is getting pathetic.

I have a HP intel duo core using vista as the OS, 2gb ram, 250 gb hdd and nvidia graphics card. Looking at upgrading.

I had my eyes on a HP with an i7 processor firstly anyone heard of this sort of cpu set up?

Also it is 8gb ram with 3gb stand alone for graphics 1tb hdd, bluray, dvd burner.
And of course it runs windows 8 and I haven't heard to many god things about it.

I am happy with my monitor its a 20" lcd screen 1080p so I am only looking at tower.

Also it's amazing now how many laptops and notebooks trump desktops these days it's almost like desktops wil be obsolete soon. Because they also run more efficiently and are cost effective.
