I know that the first computer does not have a good video card but I will buy ATI 4890 1GB DDR5

I would take the i7. But hopefully that 550W PSU isn't generic

 

[BadTrip]

I would take the new rig for warranty purposes.

I've never seen a person pair a QX6850 with a Radeon 2400 lol, I would pick the i7 system out of the two.

 

[AKM880]

+1. A HD2400 is a weak card unless the computer isn't for gaming.

i7... its the future.... but if u can change power supply (especially if its generic) and better vid card... if its for gaming ofcourse

the first rig is pretty much maxed except for the vid card... the second will give you the chance to expand and upgrade for quite a while

thanx all

I want which one is the best in performance

If I buy the used computer I will buy ATI 4890 1GB DDR5

 

[AKM880]

I'd still go with i7, more upgrade options since LGA775 is old.

 

[Bluescreendeath]

^ Well, i7 upgrades are gonna be limited too, since Intel is phasing out the affordable CPUs. The only thing coming for 1366 in the predictable future is $1000+ 6 core CPUs for servers.
