I bought a new desktop at MMD on 441 in Feb 2017 and am very happy with it. The price then was $750. I also bought separately MS Office and Norton Anti-Virus. My biggest recommendation would be to get a PC with a solid-state drive. Standard hard drives, regardless of capacity, have a life of 3 to 5 years before they crash. I had already been through 3 drive replacements by last Feb and each one was very painful. Here's what I got:
i3 6100 cpu, 2 cores, 3 gb cache, 3.7 ghz clock, 8 gb ram, 240 gb ssd drive, internal cd/dvd drive, 2 tb external disc drive (BestBuy) for backups.
I would also recommend a fast internet connection from your ISP. I have 20mb and at times that is not enough because I watch videos and occasionally movies on the web. I recommend using FireFox as your browser. Avoid MS's Internet Explorer as it crashes all the time. You can find cheaper PCs on the web at places like NewEgg, but you won't get the quick, local service that MMD or BestBuy can provide. Hope this helps.
