I always like to buy about 25% more than I think I will need, especially when it comes to processing power.

I think it will greatly aid my studies at SPSU, but I do not know how much power I need. I would like to stay in the lower end of the price range, $250-$400. I mostly need to read books, write programs for classes, net surfing.
