Hi

You don't say what you mean by medium budget but here's my suggestion.

As for ram, go with at least 8 Gigs, ram is really cheap anymore, (I remember paying $300 for 4 megabytes) there's no reason to try and save money here.

I don't think most new computuers comes with less then that anyway, and you can't run more then that unless you get Windows 7 Pro.  Windows 7 Home only supports 10.

I agree with Jonnybode abut the i7 processor and there is a newer version then the one I have now.  But I think you would find an i5 would perform well too, but there is't a huge differece in cost so if you can afford it go with the i7.

I guarentee you won't find a better computer then Falcon NW, check out their reputation yourself. They've been building the best computers in the US for 20 years.

Since I got mine 2 years ago several of my friends have gone with Falcon NW after seening mine and they love them too.  I'll never buy any other brand of computer again.

Check out the Talon, don't look at the Mach V unless you want to mortgage your house. LOL

If you compare you will see that a Dell with similar specs doesn't cost a lot less and there is all the difference in the world in how they are built and the quality of the components, a new Falcon undergoes days of testing.

A Dell gets turned on if it boots it ships and I have had several that didn't even boot when I got them.  That's what sent me to Falcon to start with.

Sorry to sound like a fanatic but I,ve been in computing since Dos and this is the best computer I've ever had by a mile.
