I'd go with B, personally. Intel Core 2 Duo is better than the AMD equivalent, and I prefer the ATI chipset to nVidia too.

core 2 duo for sure !

B - * Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 -->

You have a price difference of 200-250 € between E6600 and E6700 for only 160 mhz.
So its better to give more money for your graphic card.

* ATi Radeon X1950 XTX 512MB DDR4 <--

GDR4 doesn't exist at the moment, the first graphic card with this technology will be r600 from ATi.
Its better to buy one nVidia 8800 GTS or GTX, as your like.

* 380W High-efficiency ATX12V v2.0 Power Supply <- crap?

B but I'd take it with 8800GTS, the new 8800models way outcome any other model, BUT one warning. If you take B with 8800GTS prepare for incredible power supply. 1) New graphic cards take HUGE amounts of power but 2) this is the most important thing, it has to have many of those ATX power cables, I think that alone 8800GTS swallows somewhat four cables. But if you got the money and you get the power supply right, take B with 8800GTS.

My budget was 1100.

I have managed to find this PC :

E6600 Duo Core
8800 GTS 640MB
2 Gig Corsair Ram

Will a 500W PSU run this?

Yoo 7 Dec 2006, 23:19
500w is enough unless it's a crappy noname psu
