I'm looking for a new computer. I have a eMachine right now that i have had for a while. Its a 2002. So im looking for a new computer. So what Im asking is I want a computer that can play 1080p videos on Youtube no problem. (it dosent have to load fast, as long as it dosent lag then its all good) I will be insalling 2 or 3 games on it. No big games or anything so i want a computer that can hold 3 games. I do not want to pay anything ovr $500.00 so if you can, can you please tell me some computer names (not just like HP or Dell, I want like for an example "Dell - Inspiron Desktop with Intel® Coreâ¢2 Duo Processor" , it dosent need that much info but like the name of the company and the name of the computer) and i do not want a Apple computer. I want a Windows or Vista Computer and I rather have a desktop computer but if you know of a really good laptop for under $500.00 then please share. Ok. So Anyone with a good computer or your own computer that is good please tell me. Thank You Everyone!
(P.S. Everyone answers will help me and if you think your computer is really good tell me)

Answer
whatever you buy from dell you could build yourself for 75% of the price if not 50%. Dell and other companies charge way to much and you dont get enough. You will end up with a basic non K intel CPU so you will not be able to overclock.
Your best bet is to build a computer yourself this way you can do some future proofing as you go. You will also be able to have a good power supply and graphics card to start.
i5-2500K is a great CPU for gaming
if you also do video or photo editing then the 2600k might be better for you due to the hyperthreading.
With these CPU's you will be able to overclock them and keep up with newer faster CPU's so you dont have to run out and replace everything.
Another thing to keep in mind is most pre built computers come with a cheapo H67 motherboard. This motherboard does not allow any overclocking of any CPU. Your better off with a P67 or Z68. I highly recommend the asus p8p67 PRO <rev 3.1>
The difference between the p67 and z68 is the z68 offers SSD caching and onboard video. But if you have a graphics card and standard hard drives then the p68 will be just fine for you.
As far as a power supply a Corsair CX 600 is a great base power supply and fairly cheap at 70 bucks.
Ram you can purchase just about any ram, it does not need to be expensive. Look for around 8GB or so.
If you want a SUPER cheap case you can get the NZXT gamma from wal mart. it is 35 bucks with free site to store shipping. Has a psu dust filter which is not found in most cheap cases.
Building your own computer will also free up some money to get a better graphics card. You could go with an nvidia gtx 560Ti. I believe it goes for about 250 bucks.
If you are up to building your own and want/need ANY help go to overclock.net There are plenty of well educated individuals there that can help you pick out parts and help you put them all together.
as far as the life of your computer, if you have a PSU dust filter on your case then having it on the ground is not an issue. You will just need to clean the filter ever so often. If you willing to spend more on a case then I suggest the Corsair 600T. its about 140-160 but it has dust filters all around and plenty of cooling with 2 large 200mm fans.
With a computer if anything ever has an issue you can just replace the part, no point in having a whole computer go to trash.
THE BIGGEST THING would be to get a good power supply. Most pre built computers (dell) come with cheapo no name power supplies that I would not trust. Buying a good power supply is VERY important. If something goes wrong with the PSU it could take out other components of your PC.
EDIT: its funny how andrew and myself take the time to give some thoughtful feedback and try to help someone instead of a 1 line answer... and someone has to go around and thumb down our answer? wow
