I do not know what I could actually do with such an Amiga. I mean is it possible to do most of the things I already do with a PC? Or today Amiga's are used for some particular area where PC is still not that good at?
For most things, the average pc is (much) better in day to day use, although you can ofcourse still use an Amiga for many things. It's as good as it was back then in the early 90-ies and can be used for many things (wordprocessing, databases, spreadsheets, whatever) and if you don't expect more, it still works great. It's a very nice computer, but it is (ofcourse) outdated.
If you don't know what to do with an Amiga, I am slightly puzzled why you bother to buy one, though. Best thing to do in such a case is buy an A1200 with some extra ram, an internal harddrive and enjoy the games and demos which can still be found everywhere. Don't expect it to replace your pc, though. The A1200 is more than fast enough for this, it can be easily upgraded if you feel the need and it has the AGA-chipset on board (the latest chipset from the classic Amiga-line).
If you _just_ want to play classic games, are on a tight budget and don't care for the AGA-chipset, you can also buy a second-hand A500 for next to nothing. Expand RAM to 1 MB (if this hasn't already been done so), add an extra external diskdrive and you have a hell of a classic gaming machine.
