Buying a new PC

by hvK • 9 Nov 2009, 13:58 • Journals
Mainly looking at this:

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/170254/show_product_overview

Wondering if there could be anything better for possibly cheaper, limit is around £400

Suggestions?

Not really, but looking at that PC I'd take it anyway, I know people say build your own and shit but I would never get around to it.

yeah i mean you could make something slightly better building yourself but yeah you'd have to go though the hassle of making it.

on the other hand from pcspecialists i made around the same sort of comp (assuming you want AMD and ati)

came out at £408

pritty much the same but:

AMD PHENOM II X2 545 SOCKET AM3 (3.00GHz/6MB CACHE)
4GB CORSAIR XMS2 DUAL-DDR2 800MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY
ASUS® M4N78-AM: DUAL DDR2, S-ATA II, PCIe x16, 1 x PCIe x1, 2 x PCI
1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)
1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 4650 PCI EXPRESS
450W Quiet Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan

It means it's almost the same, and then the "but" leads me up to what is different.

despite u don't have any OS but I suppose you'll easily find one, it seems like the cfg isn't that bad for the price u took.
