But if is within your power to buying a new computer with more space, never hesitate to do so. It worth the cost because you will be able to run more applications simultaneously.

Monitors:
When shopping for computer equipment like monitor, look for at least a 17” screen monitor with 1280 by 1024 pixels resolution. A desktop PC of 19” monitor will give 20% additional screen space.
