A few thoughts......
Unless you know exactly what you are doing, then choose a good brand name. Brand names are dearer but tend to offer better support and upgradability. They also tend to work better in the first place! Check out the support service that is provided. Support, especially for a newbie to computers is very important. Make sure it’s free.
Be careful with packages that include all sorts of extra “free” items such as scanners, digital cameras and buckets of software. They are not really free, and unless you really want them you are just wasting your money and cluttering up your desk with wires and boxes and your hard disk with useless software. Apart from anything else, cluttered PC's tend to work less well!
Don’t just go for the most powerful PC you can find! If you intend to run business applications or general software for the home, then most PC’s around these days are adequate. You only need top of the range processors and graphics cards, etc, if you have highly specific applications, or want cutting edge gaming.
