I Want to Buy New PC in this Christmas. Any Suggestions??

Get one built to your own spec. Plenty of good people available if you look online.

Everybody has different requirements, so why buy something off the shelf when you can get one custom made for not much more ?

Don't forget to plug it in...

You could have a go at building a PC yourself; it's really not very difficult, think lego... the trick is doing enough upfront research to find which components work together reliably. Also, in the long run it works out much cheaper building your own as once you invest in a decent case and power supply any later upgrades are usually limited to incremental changes to the motherboard, memory and chip rather than a full machine every time. Many of the larger companies make perfectly fine machines but although they run well they often have noisy drives and fans, badly installed software and they usually lock you into specific components making it difficult to upgrade. The main components you will need for basic PC are

Case
Power Supply
Motherboard
CPU
Memory
Hard drive
Graphics Card
DVD/CD Drive

Optional:
Monitor
Keyboard/Mouse
Operating System/Software
Cooling System/Silent fans
