Hello,

I am looking to get a PC similar in quality to this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Asus-CM1435-US003S-ASUS-Desktop-Grey/dp/B00B16YAAS

I have to pick it up today so I was looking at the Futureshop website and found these:

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-ca/product/asus-asus-m11bb-desktop-pc-amd-a8-6500-1tb-hdd-6gb-ram-windows-8-1-m11bb-ca010s/10284327.aspx?path=c5765ef25813ed642e5687d7f6a05fcfen02

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-ca/product/asus-asus-m11bb-desktop-pc-amd-a10-6700-1tb-hdd-12gb-ram-windows-8-1-m11bb-ca009s/10284328.aspx?path=7c01b1f6b9a9ff8e6bd005a417ef4469en02

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/acer-acer-axc-605-desktop-pc-intel-core-i5-4440-1tb-hdd-6gb-ram-windows-8-axc-605-eb13/10283996.aspx?path=1c3b79378328c2ce35cbe1187155829een02

Are these all better or equal in quality to the above mentioned one? Furthermore, which should I get? Although price isn't a huge issue, id rather not pay an extra $100 if I don't need to.

Typical use is for a Remote Desktop accessible work station. Doesn't need to be super graphic demanding but I would like it to be able to handle multiple processes without any huge issues.

Thanks!

Xeon's are just a better build standard. They will run 24/7 for 10+ years where a standard desktop CPU will be prone to die around the 10 year mark. It's just higher grade silicon and better temperature tolerances. And its a decent workstation CPU. :)
Hope you understood.

Is it significantly better than the others to justify the +100 cost? Also, am I completely just throwing money away by paying $550+tax ($622 total) for this system? A better question would probably be, what's this PC really worth?

If you ask me, none of the 4 systems that you posted are worth it for me, because I am not that target group. I always build the systems, never buy pre-made. Anyway either you pick one of those, or you build yourself one. In every case, you pay for what you get or get what you pay. You should evaluate your needs first. You said remote accessible workstation, but workstation for what?

Link doesn't work. Also, that looks like Walmart.com, and unfortunately I am in Canada.



Yeah but for a PC this cheap, ~$500, I am curious whether it is worth my time to build one but maybe so. Someone originally recommended this one to me: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2WMx9. Thoughts?

It's a workstation PC used primarily for Remote Desktop. Won't need great great graphics as it won't be used much for gaming. However, it will be running various pieces of software used for databases, data mining, as well as some other software simultaneously so I would like a decent CPU.
