1. New computer: I had the same problems as you. I had my laptop for 5-6 years (Intel chip) so I bought a new one this year. Definitely get an Intel chip. I think i5 or i3 is good for an average home user.
As for the video/graphics card, I play games so I don't know about this.
I had googled "laptop buying guide" and found a site where this guy had given loads of advice depending on if you were average home user, student or business user. He believes that the speed of the harddrive is a more important factor than the size. He recommended 5400RPM or 7200RPM for harddrive speed and a processor speed of minimum 2.2 Ghz. And 4GB RAM. If you have loads of videos, music, etc. he recommended 500GB harddrive min.
But the above is all for a laptop. If you want a desktop, I guess you should check if these same specs are appropriate for a desktop or not.
