Someone Yo
I am having trouble deciding between these two computers:

I am a college student and need a decent, reliable computer that will last me at least 3-4 years. I will be playing SOME games but the priority is having a solid, fast computer. Only issues are that the CyberPower has a AMD processor while the Dell has an Intel i5. Should this be an issue? Also how do CyberPower computers perform reliability-wise? I don't really plan on building my computer and just use it the way it came...
Answer
What makes you think that Dell makes a decent reliable desktop PC? Information from 2005?

The Dell i5 is Intel integrated graphics. Forget about gaming with it at all.
And, the Cyberpower PC at Bestbuy has graphics that is no better. It is a piece of crap GT 520 with the FX-4100.

In the third site, do desktop+laptop and estimate the graphics placement
Here, until it sells out:

OK, the HDD is small. Got to give up something to keep a price in range with good graphics.

Your other bargain priced gaming PCs
When a desktop fails, you can replace the failed part.
A normal sized ATX mid-tower can also be upgraded.
That often takes a new power supply and graphics card, unless starting with an OK PSU, which Dell and HP do not (nor most other common brands).
To know how "fast" a PC is, compare it to one you know, by checking its CPU and ram level.
If you need wireless, you add a card (or dongle in a pinch if totally lazy)
Solid? that takes business level or build-your own.

1) what to look for in terms of Ram, etc.?
2) where to go/where can i do it?
3) what kind of pc? (dell, etc.)
4) average cost?

Answer
If you really want a good gaming PC, you'll need to build it yourself.
As for your questions..
1) 3 GBs.
3) Not a dell, their horrible. I recommend Gateway, I've never had a problem with them.
4) Depends, a lot, probably.
