problems with dh here - maybe atty can take a look at the specs
Sorry about the problems,tib.
Can't get a computer right now but I know I need one so it's time to start looking and save my pennies. Enough on the CC's already. I need to pay for this one.

Fran, just a wild idea, there's always a chance your local computer-shop could upgrade your current one.
What they could do is...replace the motherboard+cpu, maybe power supply if you're having problems. MAYBE they could re-use the memory chips. Then they could put a graphics card in it too rather than using "Intel HD graphics" (on cpu).
That way you can keep the existing case, keyboard, mouse, monitor, maype power supply, maybe memory, maybe CPU.
I'd need specs on your current computer. But if it is more than, say, 5 years old, they'll probably swap out most of the other stuff too.
If they can save any $$$ you could put it toward a SSD + HD combo and, optionally, a lower-end graphics card (still better than "Intel HD") and/or 12 meg of RAM.

This one is ALMOST the same computer, but 100 bucks cheaper.
It has a 2-core I3 rather than a 4-core I-5, and a 1 TB drive rather than 2TB. Now, if you can save up the pennies, go ahead and get the I5, I don't want to "cheap out" on you. But from what I guess, I don't think you'll notice much if any difference between the two.
Things you might wish to "add on" or swap...swap the HD for an SSD if you can when you order. That will probably be extra $$$. Later on, you can add a graphics card if you wish (it's like an after-market add-on, so you don't have to front all the cash at once).
