Any reason for the AMD ??? I thought intel quad core jobbies were the king of the castle at the moment whats your budget ??

Intel C2D or C4D is where its at! Compare for yourself here.

As Fullhouse asked, budget?

Jamemoff · 17 Nov 2007 at 12:38

Sounds like you are buying a pre-built system?

Don't you fancy building one yourself if thats the case?

Sh3rlock · 17 Nov 2007 at 13:00

You'll probably get a better computer if you self-build like youngblood stated.

ASUS M2N-E SLI Motherboard
2g ram
8500gt
320g hard drive

YoungBlood · 17 Nov 2007 at 13:42

Do you have a case you can re-use and a pretty decent PSU allready?

Jamemoff · 17 Nov 2007 at 13:47

nope i dont have anything i can re-use

YoungBlood · 17 Nov 2007 at 13:50

Just seen your above post, then yeah it will be tricky. To get what you want in that budget. Im new to Intel chips and mb's im sure someone will spec you better.

Jamemoff · 17 Nov 2007 at 13:52

this is the pc i might get http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GAMING-PC-DUA...QihZ010QQcategoryZ179QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

i know its form ebay but my m8 got one form this seller and it was great

YoungBlood · 17 Nov 2007 at 14:02

and no dought comming here has given you hesitations. I would'nt call it a gaming PC with a 8500 card, yeah it can play games but.....

If you plan to get a 8800GT later on does that not up your budget to around £500?

Also im not sure of the power requirements of the 8800GT vs the 8500GT but you might find yourself needing to replace the PSU as well, I would'nt expect that system to be packing a well speced PSU.

Check out http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html I did'nt know the 8500GT was that bad, you most certainly are going to need a 8800GT, gaming pc? pfffttttt

Jamemoff · 17 Nov 2007 at 14:04

i am not planing on buying a 8800 just yet mabe in a few months

Jamemoff · 17 Nov 2007 at 14:06

a good quality 450w, but it's likely to have a cheap one so probly about 600w
