Well, what are your needs?

What type of games? Cartridge based? Floppy based? Hard disk based?
Tape (it's got to still exist somewhere)? What to do with MIDI?
Composition? Filtering? Misc processing? What type of "Telecommunications"?
BBS? Long-haul networks? Anything else? Future expansion?

BTW:
There is a world of difference between VGA and CGA/M-CGA.
CGA is not known for "decent graphics" in today's market.
Although 3 1/4" drives probably exist, I'm sure you mean 3 1/2".
These "needs" presuppose PC hardware; there are other machines
that can handle your "needs", as well.
