Keep an eye out for these features when looking to buy a desktop computer:

 If buying a bundle, does this include monitor, mouse and keyboard? Check the small print!

 Monitor size – these can look bigger in-store than on your desk. Measure up first. Consider a minimum of a 22-inch screen if you’re going to be in front of the screen for prolonged periods of time.

 CPU – Intel’s i5 or i7 processors for current best performance.

 RAM – a minimum of 4GB of RAM.

 Graphics card – avoid integrated graphics cards if you want improved performance for things like video and design work.

 Hard disk – 500GB will cover most needs, especially as an external hard drive is recommended for backing up your important data.

 DVI or HDMI output if you are planning on connecting it to a high-resolution monitor.
