Possible PC Upgrade

Heya CO!, as part of my come-back to gaming/CO, I decided to go all out B)(Looking to finally get around to my LTS sub..yaaay RL. :p) as well as buying a new PC to upgrade from my current one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883230037&ignorebbr=1.-New PC I'm looking to buy.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227509&ignorebbr=1-Current model.

My current model ran into the issue of A.) Randomly minimizing the game/client, as well as randomly DC'ing once a day. I'm hoping this new PC model will alleviate at least the minimizing issue, with a hopefully added bonus of eliminating the random daily DC.
Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

    The random DC'ing may actually be linked to your internet connection, not your computer. And randomly minimizing your client is usually due to some sort of setting, or another program that forces your open game to minimize. Although these can generally by alleviated by research upgrading to a newer PC is always nice.

    Then again, I run on a Windows 7 COMPAQ piece of crap, so I guess my argument is somewhat invalid.
    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

    Your argument is more than valuable :). You say it could be due to a random setting? What are some culprits, for once I get this new PC?

    I upgraded to a Dell cheap **** special, from another Dell cheap **** special. Graphics card upgrade was what fixed things.
