Buying a new computer is not an easy task, and you would not want to buy a machine that will not work after a couple of years.

1. Desktop or Laptop:-
This is one of the simplest choices, but it will make a huge difference in your cost. If both desktop or laptop do the same thing for you, then I think it is better to buy a desktop as it is cheaper.
Although desktop is bigger in size, but it will not make much difference. But if you have to store many data in small hardware and need to move it from one place to another, then laptop is better for you.
2. About the processor of a computer:-
Before buying a new computer, be sure to see what kind of processor you are taking.
In simple words, the processor is the brain of the computer. If you want a fast computer, which loads programs very fast, performs tasks very quickly, and does not make you wait, then you should take the strongest processor.
And who doesn't want that? You just have to know the details of the processor and select the perfect processor for you . Intel is one of the good processors.
Dual Core - If you want to buy a new computer for home use only, then it will be the best option for you.
i3 Processor - If you want to work with home as well as office and want to use some high end multimedia software like photoshop, coreldra etc then it would be best for you.
i5 Processor - If you want to enjoy gaming at home and want to use high quality games, videos and software, then this option will be best.
i7 Processor - This is a best option for professional work.
3. Select the RAM carefully
Before taking a new computer you must definitely know how much RAM you need.
Just as the processor cores of a computer affect the speed and ability of its multitasking, the amount of Random Access Memory or RAM, also affects the speed and capacity of multitasking of the computer.
RAM is basically a small, extra-fast form of memory (like L1, L2, or L3 cache, but bigger and slower). This saves your files temporarily.
Now a days , RAM is measured in Gigabytes. By having more RAM, your computer will be able to maintain speed by storing more files. However, very little data can be stored in RAM, it depends upon the hard drive for its data.
2 GB RAM - Normally use for dual core etc.
4 GB RAM - Best for use medium use only , you can use with i5 and i3.
8 GB RAM - This would be a good option for professional use
4. Choose Hard Drives Carefully
For which work you will use your computer, it can only determine the size of your hard drive.
Every computer needs data storage, because everything that RAM saves goes into the hard drive itself. If you want to store lot of things in a computer then buy as much gigabyte or terabyte hard drive as you can.
If you want to you want to store many applications on your computer and do not want to store much media then take a hard drive of less memory, it will also cost less money. Again, if you want to maintain a fast computer and you have enough money, use a hard drive or a flash hard drive of high memory .
5. Mac OS, Windows, or Linux !
Select your computer's operating system very carefully. According to me you should use the operating system that you have used before. Because it can be difficult to adjust with a new operating system.
If you know how to use the Linux operating system, then you do not have to think & can go with Linux. If you want an easy to use system you can try Mac Operating system. If you want good control over your computer then Windows is a good option for you.
Whatever operating system you know to use properly. It is better to use that one because you will get every useful software for every operating system.
6. Selection of Graphics is also very important:-
Computer makers always put stickers on the screen of their computer showing that which graphic card they have used in that computer such as AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
Most of us do not pay attention to it, but it is an important thing. For gaming, heavy software, you should choose the graphic card carefully.
If you want to know more about the graphic card, then you can check the site of PassMark.
7. Oh! Are you buying computer for gaming purpose?
If you want to use the computer for gaming then select your components very carefully. If you want to play the latest games, which are made using high technology then you should get a high-performance machine.
Modern games also take up a lot of space, so you should also take hard drive with more memory. The processing power of these games is also high, so heavy-hitting processor is necessary.
8. How to buy a New Computer?
First of all, computer is a very expensive machine, so patience is necessary to buy it. Technology changes very quickly. If you buy a computer today maybe a better computer will be available at a lower price tomorrow.
Therefore, do a very good research before taking a computer and select the best computer according to your need.
If you are taking a computer with old technology then try to get maximum discount in it.
Bonus Tips - If you can assemble a new computer (means make each part according to you), it will make you cheaper and also you get the computer as per your requirement.
