Which Computer?

[Fab Estate]

I am after getting a new computer, I have seen these on Ebay. Which would be better a 3.2Ghz quad processor with 8gb memory and a 4650 graphics or a 3gb quad processor with 4gb memory and a 5770 graphics or can anyone recommend anything else?

What are you going to use it for?

8Gb of Ram is a lot if all you're planning to do is play solitaire and watch pr0n?

Browsing and just the odd game like Call of duty.

Have you tried these

I use Novatech. They are competitive and they always have what I want in stock. Half the guys working in the Cardiff branch are a bit..... disengaged but I I can understand why.

This http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Barebones/Novatech/BB-93502G.html has fantastic potential. Add another 2gb ram, a SSD drive for the OS, a 1tb cavier black for storage, and any number of the 150 quid mark gcards about at the moment and you have a really decent machine for £450. Sure the chip is an e class but you can play with that. Those ebay machines above have very old mobos in them (760 chipset????) and I would put money them being unleashed dual cores.

Thanks for the replies. I am not sure about a barebones, I have never built one before and wouldn't know what to do if anything went wrong.

PS What is wrong with 760 chipsets?
