Q. My current set up is a intel quadcore processor,an ATI radeon 4350 graphics card, a 500gb hard drive, running windows 7 professional with 4gb's of RAM, and my
Monitor is my LCD tv screen that is 32",720p. And any other recommendations for things that could upgrade or make my computer faster and better for a decent price would be greatly appreciated.

A. well Alex, I am just gonna assume that what you meant was the lowest priced GPU that could run all games on max settings on 1080p.
With that in mind, then the GPU that you can get is the GTX 560 ti, like this one:
MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - $235 ($205 after rebate)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127565
The GTX 560 ti is the lowest card that can play BF3 on max settings on 1080p with ave FPS of 31.8:

BTW, If whenever you have decided to purchase this card, just make sure that your PSU would be ideal to support it. The GTX 560 ti requires 500w or greater BUT the ideal PSU would be a 600w branded PSU (corsair,antec,seasonic,OCZ).

What do you guys think of kindles?
Q. How much are they? Are they worth the buy? There's a lot of different brands, which is the best one? How much do you have to pay for books once you own a kindle? I saw one at Barnes & Noble and am very interested. Thank you!
A. Kindle is a specific ereader by Amazon. Barnes & Nobel's ereaders go by the name Nook.
Ebooks are priced similar at both stores and average around $10, usually a bit less than physical books.
Buy a Kindle or Nook Touch if you're most interested in long-run reading. Their E Ink Pearl display is much better than Nook Color's LCD (backlit) screen for reading text. Deciding between a Kindle and Nook Touch: Kindle advantages: keyboard, 3G model available, 4G internal memory, Text-To-Speech, MP3 support. Nook Touch advantages: touch screen, less page-turn flashing, EPUB support, SD memory expansion port, library borrowing now (vs later this year for Kindle).
Buy a Nook Color if you're most interested in apps and games and browsing the web. Reading long-run text is as tolerable as it is with a computer monitor, and the Kindle's and Nook Touch's capabilities in the non-reading areas pale in comparison.
[Buy an iPad if you are ok paying a considerable premium and want the best app experience, the best PDF support, the best web browsing experience, and value color support over E Ink Pearl display's book-like reading experience.]
Pricing (2011-07-29):
Nook Color: $250; Nook Touch: $139;
Kindle WiFi ($139); Kindle WiFi WSO ($114); Kindle 3G ($189); Kindle 3G WSO ($139).
1. WiFi or WiFi+3G: Choose WiFi+3G if you wish to download ebooks or browse the web when away from a WiFi hotspot. An ereader with 3G support will be able to connect like a cell phone. Unlike a cell phone, however, there is no monthly fee for Kindle's 3G service. Note, though, that the web browser on Kindle isn't so great. Also, once an ebook is downloaded, neither WiFi nor 3G is needed to read it.
2. Special Offers or not:
Kindle With Special Offers Pros:
* $25 (WiFi) or $50 (3G) less expensive.
* May save more if special offers are purchased.
* Offers have been sweet so far: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_navbox_kspot_ksupport?nodeId=200671290
* Ads do not show up in the middle of reading an ebook.
* I've heard only praise from those who buy Kindle WSO.
Kindle With Special Offers Cons:
* May just dislike ads in principle, even outside of reading experience.
