What I was saying is to go to a store and talk to someone. They can figure out what you are trying to achieve (gaming, video editing, or just using it for email and the internet), then they can find out your budget and tell you what would work out best for you. You are not obligated to buy from the store but you will have a much better idea of what you need, and can then search for the best price on the parts.
My personal preference is to buy locally from a store rather than online, that way if I have a problem with an item I can immediately return it. I am also impatient so I may pay a little more for an item but I get it faster.
