Hi, im thinking of buying a quad core pc. It doesnt have to be perfect for gaming but a decent fast pc....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI [...] %26otn%3D1

This is one of the ones im looking at, i know the graphics card aint that good but im focusing on a good processor atm with a low price. So what do you think about this deal? It would help if you can tell me for what type of processor to go for which is future proof

thx in advance

hi mate well really you want to think about what you want then buy the componets and build the pc to how you want it i would recomend 2gig of ram a quad core procceser and 512mb of ram serial ata hard drive and dvd rewriter and a nice 550watts powersupply if u want realy good preformance then go for amd also good to run games on or intel if you just want it for office use hope this helps

Personally, I'd stay away from any seller that advertises a Q6600 as a 9.6ghz cpu. They are either ignorant or deceptive.

Thanks alot, this really helped me since I was gonna buy intel but Amd seems much better for me cos its better for games, it also seems cheaper :P.
After seeing your response i checked the tom hardware charts for processors and it shows that the intel quads out preformed the amd ones on pretty much everthing :S.
