I really like what you're planning to do with this.
baruhara:
I want to get a new computer, but I have absolutely no clue about what qualifies as a good computer and what doesn't. I'm pretty tech retarded.
Oh, and my mom wants to get a new camera since the ones of our little trip to Germany didn't turn out as well as she'd hoped, but I'm just as much ignorant there, if not even more so.

Do you want your new computer to be a desktop or a laptop? I have a laptop and I think I should have gotten one that weighs less. Mine weighs 4.5 pounds (2.04 kg) and having it slung over my shoulder for a while is fine if I'm not carrying anything else. However, if I have other stuff to carry too, then it can get tiring.
baruhara:
^ Definitely a desktop. I'm so criminally bad with working laptops it's untrue.
TheTanStar:
For a desktop, never buy a prebuilt. They're always overpriced for what you actually get out of them (maybe a decent CPU at best). Always buy parts and build it yourself (It's not that difficult; It would take me about 20-30 minutes to build a computer from an empty case and parts). You'll know exactly what's in there and it's significantly easier to upgrade/fix.
To start, what's your budget/the tasks you want to perform on it?
