I had this question ask of me many times. I am buying a computer, what should I buy? My reply is what are you using it for? By answering this simple question, you can get a good idea what will be in your description for your computer. If you are just surfing the web, then CPU and Memory is probably not a important factor. If you are looking for gaming and are willing to spend a little bit more, a decent graphic card is what you'll want to put the bucks to.
If you are using your pc for photography or number cranking, then you'll want to spend a bit on memory and processor speed. Hard drive in general is not big deal, but since the development of the solid state drive, which I am quite impressed. For general user, a 100 Gb drive is sufficient, but if you are a MP3 geek; I would recommend getting one of those small handheld size hard drive like Western Digital or Toshiba, they are at least 320Gb in size these days.
What type of CPU you may ask? Intel or AMD? Well, I am a big fan of both. I have had both brand and I noticed Intel to be more stable than AMD. Intel have been the "universal" standard, therefore most application will play well with the chip. AMD is not a bad processor either, although not universal, but it's been picking up waves and making a name for themself. Benchmark to faster for AMD.
How much memory? Well, this is a tough question. There are so many brands and type and speed. This is usally not a choice if you buy your PC from Dell or HP. You will get to select the size, 4 Gb of memory is not expensive these days. If you can afford, pick a faster speed one, it does make a difference.
