Hello, I have usually bought Dell throughout the years, but I am really hoping this desktop will last much longer than the XPS 420 I currently have.

Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP

Budget Range: $2,000 After Rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: surfing web/research, editing videos/pictures, desktop publishing/word processing.

Parts Not Required: Need all - plan to use the 420 as backup and bookkeeping (anything not needing internet)

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Dell is most familiar to me, have bought items from Newegg in past.

Country: USA

Parts Preferences: Confused over AMD Radeon vs. NVIDIA GeForce GT (which I currently have.

Overclocking: Not sure what this is.

SLI or Crossfire: Not sure

Monitor Resolution: 1024x768, (because what I am familiar with?)

Additional Comments: I just want speed and quietness, quality for reasonable price.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help!
