Was it connected to a surge protector?

I am asking because I was talking to an electrician today and he said they were useless.

My brother is suggesting we buy the parts and build a computer.

My b-i-l is suggesting I purchase a 2 year old gaming computer from ebay. He sent me a list of 3 that all looked very nice. He said at a minimum they are all 250% better than what I have now.

Primary functions I use my computer for: browsing the internet (ebay, BO, articles, etc.) Paying bills, and playing WoW.

Thank you.

I bought an MSI Trident 3 10th used on ebay about a year ago and it works great for even the newer games. It has a 1660 super graphics card, 500 GB SSD, 1000 GB HD, and 16 GB of RAM. It would work great for what you want to do. I think i paid about $800. I like that it's only about the size of a playstation.

I use a chromebook for web browsing, ebay, paying bills, all the other stuff you mentioned. Once you use a chromebook you'll never go back unless you need something else they don't do like gaming but i have the other PC for that.

I highly recommend to people who value their electronics to install whole house SPD's in their panel.
