well im gonna be honest with ya.

the AMD is a bad buy.
the intel is even worse lol.

id say the intel is overpriced by like $800
and the AMD by bout $500 - 600

you could buid a monster of a gaming machine for that price

i know for £600 english money i could get

a C2D e6600
2GB 800Mhz RAM
8600GTS
320Gb hardrive

jus for the basics n e way and that would smoke both of those pc's put together

 

[Meshios]

i know i could build a much better machine for the price, it's just the fact i like buying premade

 

[ssc456]

well im ahshamed to say go with dell then.

you can get so much better even in pre built machines for that price

 

[Meshios]

got any links to some dells?

If you already have a monitor and other such you can get a better machine
