Hi Glynn.
Nice to hear you want to buy local. If only more people did perhaps industry in this country wouldn't be going down the pan so quickly.
Make sure you choose a reputable dealer. Ask them what parts they use, eg Seagate, Western Digital hard drives? What's their after-sales support
like if you have problems?
If you're with BT as your ISP then go for their kit. It's easy to set up and the range is quite good. It's also fe so saving you the cost of a router.
The other thing is that if you have any problems, it's BT line, BT equipment, BT broadband, so BT have to sort it out. No getting fobbed off, claiming they don't support 3rd party products.
You can just copy over the old .exe files, but on the case of AVG, it will probably be out of date (it's AVG 8.0 at the moment) and will take ages to update anyway. Download the latest version onto your old computer and copy that across. The same with your firewall.
God luck. Feel free to post back if you have further questions.
