I want to buy a new desktop computer which I intend to use for running MS office, download and watching movies from the internet, play blue ray HD movies, be able to connect desktop with external tv monitor, I'm not a big gamer but I wouldn't mind being able to do so if I wish so I'd probably want a decent enough graphics card and finally I like at least a 20 inch flat screen monitor.

What sort of money should I expect to have to pay at Yongsan and can people give me some quality hardware recommendations. I would like windows 7 but honestly I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on something on a operating system when I can get operating systems such Ubuntu for free.

Thanks,

Blade.

If you aren't after anything special pick one of the pre-assembled pc's at yongsan. They're pretty good and they do alright with the basic stuff. This guys talking about building the same kind of PC i suspect.

Try this for starters, you can see what kinda price they go for. Icoda aint the cheapest in yongsan, but really helpful and a couple really nice guys that speak English there too:

or
http://www.danawa.co.kr (search parts you may want to buy for best price)

P.S A guy on here is selling his rig, might be bit out of your range but pretty good specs:
