    I just bought a system like that at Dell, including a $200 all in one printer and print cartridges, for $1100 (and a $150 gift card to boot).

    If you have paypal, they have an option where you can have no interest payments for up to 6 months (Dell offers that deal, too). That’s the best way to go if you think you can pay it all off in the 6 month grace period.

    By the time you do all those upgrades, you’d probably be better off getting a new PC instead that already has those features.

    If you do buy on a credit card, and only make minimum payments, you could end up paying $3000 for the $2000 in purchases.

    Save money. Pay cash. Credit cards aren’t free money, you will have to pay eventually. If you save $200 a month for ten months you will get a better computer than you will today, for less, with no interest.
