If you get anything used , stay away from XP and older windows systems as they will not be the supported systems of choice much longer. try to get windows 7 or 8. On the ram 2-3 gigs is all you will realy use. ( You don't make movies and run a lot of windows open at the same time.

I think the  i5 and i7 are some of the best processers out. Try to stay over a 2.8 mhz daul or quad core 64bit system  and you should be good to go with just about anything you want to do with a pc.

As for a hard drive. Most people will never use up a 150-200 gig If so you save to much stuff and your system will be ssssllloooww.

Just my thoughts but a system like this should last you a long time. The internet will out grow you befor you out grow the system.

I went alittle over on mine Running a 3.0 / 3.0 quad with 6 gm ram with a 450gig hard drive. I can have like 7 pages open playing youtube, looking for parts Dime city, cycleX, ext and reading on here and not mis a beat.

Don't jump at the first on Shop Shop Shop

    Some good info,I'm learning this thing is full and sllllooooooow is a XP but was what I had to use,A guy at work said something about Google Chrome is whats best and what he used,I've seen the adds but SO means nothing unless you understand ,gig,gm,quad,begaining to ,The Adobe is what made me slow cause of what was saved is my guess( i got rid of most all)Stoped using Adobe till I understand the load better and will on next unit.
