    I thought about going to Staples, but I really wanted to "know" what I was being put into my computer. So I ordered one. Here are the specs I ordered, let me know if you think I did a good job on ordering. I did take some opinions from on here as to what to order, and I thank you for your help! Sorry it is such a long post!

    looks good. I wouldn't have gotten the AV software or online backup though.
