PC for Christmas.

[Ethan62]

So my brother has been moaning about his PC for some time now. Now I gave him a choice a new PC or a PS4.

As of this moment he is still undecided but I wanted to get some options but know very little about AMD CPU's these days.

The two machines I've been looking at are:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-210-OK&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2485

Could someone kindly explain the difference for me and what there thoughts of the machines are.

I've got a spare SSD and O/S for the machine.

Any comments or help would be much appreciated.

It is for gaming/general home use. At the moment he plays on a dual core machine with i think a AMD/ATI 6570 (£60/70 at the time i believe,haven't looked at the machine recently).

Only plays at 1280x1024 but currently when he plays WOW(world of warcraft) he hits 2 fps in some of the busier areas.

I'm an IT Engineer so building it isn't a problem I just don't know much about AMDs commercial range.

If you think you can get something more substantial for around £500. The machine doesn't need an O/S, primary HDD (does need a data HDD 320GB is fine).
