When I see the words 'I want the best' in the title I cringe. It normal is followed by a budget of $100. Also, the phrase 'tell me what to buy' and the poster ignores all the suggestions and purchases something off the wall. Why bother? This scenario is troublesome. ' Help me fix my (insert equipment.)
