I agree, whats your budget, and what sort of machine do you want? (Games, Movies, Browsing, General, Porn?)

there is a good few deal on ebay for computers , but it depend on that you what to spend

looking around £600-700. mainly using for games or its known as wow and movies/dvds.

no good at making a pc, so need to buy already built.

Well either of those machines you have quoted will do that job for you - but on those gfx cards dont expect to push the boat out on the new stuff like CoD4/Crysis etc - it wont cut it.

Get a box for £400 then get an 8800GT to go into it!

For £600 you can put together a 3Ghz duo, 4Gb RAM and an 8800GT if you already have a case to toss it into.

This is true, but he said he doesnt want to build one - which sucks because you could easily do it for £700 quid.

Been checking that shite out myself recently, I feel an incoming upgrade.

Is it just me or outside of media encoding are quad cores supersonically useless?

They are. And thats the reason I went with a C2D - its just better value for money, and theres hardly any difference in performance.

Oh, and my 8800GT is SEXUAL.

This QX9650 does look slightly tempting however!

only media encoding makes up for that kind of upgrade !
Imagine quad core h.264 encoding !

THAT IS LURVLEY!

Indeed. That's why I decided not to upgrade my CPU.

I just bought a cheap £30 celeron D chip to stick with all my old parts and made a spare PC!

The £500 12Meg cache quad core looks awesome for e-peen swinging though.

The Q6600 is a steal.

Performance aswell as any C2D, will only perform better when more multi-thread games come through and it's only £20 more than a E6600.

It's what i'd get anyway.
