As you may know, my computer has seen better days.

It's old, slow and cluttered and therefore, I'm getting a new one.

I just need some advice.

I'm thinking about getting a Dell, more specifically, a Dimension 8300.

Pentium 4 with HT technology, 3.2Ghz
Windows XP - Home Edition
1024MB DDR SDRAM (Is 512MB sufficient?)
80GB HD (Enough? 120GB?)
128MB nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (Opinions on this card)
Sound Blaster Live 5.1 sound card (Ditto)
DVD + RW Combo Drive (Does this mean there are 2 drives i.e. put CD/DVD in one, put another CD/DVD in other and burn? Also, can it burn all DVD formats?)
Speakers with Subwoofer
17' CRT Monitor (Should I get a flat screen instead? What are the benefits of flat screen monitors and do they get "dead pixels?")

Thanks! [img]smile.gif[/img]
