I tend to enjoy building my own PC vs buying one pre-built but the call is yours. Ibuypower and cyberpowerpc both use major name brand components vs big OEMs like Dell who use their own cheap under powered equipment in all their series including Alienware. With the cost of shipping on the various components it may be cheaper to have ibuypower or another computer company build it for you.
Build your own. You could probably save money by looking for a used parts on craigslist. You could potentially go with a used case, power supply and DVD-RW drive.
Then you can spend your money on better motherboard, video card, etc...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
