Need help! Titan Theo or Titan Pyro?

[Nick08]

Hi guys we are about to purchase a new PC for my grandparents although tbh its more for the rest of the families use when they visit them The old dell has blown up and tbh it needed replacing anyway.

Essentially I can't decide between either of these computers. Is an E5300 @3 Ghz and an ATI 4850 1GB better than an AMD 245 @ 2.9 Ghz and a GTS250?

It will be used for gaming on a 17 or 19" monitor @ 1280x1000 ( can't remember exactly).

Here they are:

I really can't see this thing being upgraded tbh. Will be playing Aion, fallout3, CoD modern warfare 2 etc on it mainly. I guess it boils down to which card will run games better in the future.... but i guess that's impossible to know/predict?

well i got myself the pyro, it arrived this morning. I am in love with it. Crysis running on very high, with no noticable impact to the frame rate. I was shocked with that to be honest, started it at medium, it was fine, decided to try high, it was fine, decided to try very high, thinking it would be a laggy mess. I was shocked, no slowdown whatsoever.

About to try ARMA 2, very demanding game, il get back to you on how it performs. I really would go for the pyro though.

Nice!

Will probably order the Pyro tomorrow then.
