This is the most expensive thing I've ever bought. Even more expensive than my car. I've been researching this for weeks and I've come to the conclusion that if a computer is cheap, it's cheap for a reason; if it is expensive, it is expensive for a reason. I originally planned to get the cheapest thing available but I'm gradually being suckered into spending more money. I'm very confused about CPUs. At first I was just looking at their GHz speed to compare them. But I was told that wasn't an accurate way to compare them because different processors use their speeds in different ways. Let me show you what I'm looking into.
