for 600 - 650 you could get an x2 3800 or even a x2 4400 do the maths

he may as well go dual processor if he has 600 - 650

will u be overclocking

no, hes not that good with PC's he just wants one for games and his personal use.

So no to OC'ing.

just wondering, but what kind of specs will you need for Vista?

syke · 25 Mar 2006 at 22:40

Explict, he wont be buying for a few months. But he said he could get £700 max.

syke · 26 Mar 2006 at 00:14

which, in your opinion is best?

I would prefer dual core myself as most games will slowly but surely start becoming optimised for it. As for the graphics, it would depend on the monitor size and screen resolution. But there's no doubt the X1800XT is better than the 7800GT.

Since he is buying in a few months time, prices will probably drop and he might even be able to increase his budget slightly. £750 can get you the best of all three rigs above i.e. X2 3800+, X1800XT, GeIL 2GB RAM, full atx mobo etc.

ok, what about pushing it for £750?
