AND

b) pc for £500, not bothered about gfx but will need one, cpu, should have 2gb RAM, not bothered about hdd space, cpu cooler, mobo, case, psu, no overclocking...

Please help A.S.A.P

Looking to place an order by tomoz afternoon

logic tells you to put the better ocing quad in the better pc however if you wish to OC the second pc it will do so although a new cooler may be recommened as i didnt put a third party one in

if quad isnt required tehn go duel core and improve the graphics with the money saved

Change the PSU to the 620 version actually, will fit into the budget! Also did'nt add a sound card as onboard is actually very good now.
