Alright sorry about this guys but were back in business my parents have agreed to return the computer (15 day warranty) so here we go again please stick with me here what im looking at right now is a dell custom built computer:

Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.40GHz w/ 533MHz FSB
Unit Price: $1,694.00 (Price is in Canadian dollars)

Video Card 128MB DDR ATI RadeonT 9700 TX Video Card w/DVI and TV-Out

O and whats better 512 MB of DDRRAM or 256MB PC1066 RDRAM (2X128 modules)

Next question:
Installation

No On-Site Installation
Basic Installation [add $99.00]
Complete Installation (Includes Disconnecting Old System & Data Transfer) [add $149.00]

Whats that exactly mean if i choose no onsite installation does that mean i get all my parts seperate and have to build it myself? Whats the best one to get for a person who doesn't know that much about pcs?
