3 System Specs, Which One To Choose?
I have posted about this before (but a smaller version), ive completed my drafts, ended up with a choice of 2, now i just need help from you guys on which one to go with. My budget is £500 (with maybe a little leway, since my grandma is paying for it
)
Thats my first idea. Comments/improvements are welcome, but im abit of a noob when it comes to building computers (i know abit, but please explain why you have made that improvement
, knowlegde is power as the saying goes).
Here is my 2nd draft, after getting some advice from an irl mate (mattbrown91 on these forums) he says that intel has a better work per clock cycle, or something or other
. So he put together this for me (the motherboard + processor)
Remember i have put in bold the only things that have changed, everything else is the same..
All i would like to know is it worth the extra 70 quid or so? Or would it be better upgrading some of the components on idea 1, maybe going for 2gig ram for the same price as idea 2?
Your comments are always read and appriciated.
Thanks.
Edit: Added Idea3, sorry for all you people that posted before that
