What I now need is a computer that DOESN'T crash, lose data, or disconect from the internet all the time
No such thing. (and that includes Apples, as they are now more or less the same as a high end PC, the only difference now is the OS)

Dell are ok, as are home made ones, but just how old was your old one? As mentioned already, sticking a new hard drive in would cure that problem (unless of course there was a motherboard/PSU problem that caused the failure in the first place)

Data loss is a sign of an impending hard drive crash, disconnecting from the internet is not always a computer problem, (there are many reasons for that) and without seeing the PC first hand I am not going to speculate on it, but random crashing also can signify a dodgy hard drive or even be as simple as a badly installed OS and drivers.

It seems daft to kill off an otherwise fine PC because of a dodgy drive, but get the ram checked out as well.
