What PC is better?

[drezjel]

I want to buy a new PC, mostly for everyday use and some gaming (not the newest and heaviest of games).

Can somebody help me? I have selected a few PC's of more or less the same price, but I don't know what's more important.

1)AMD Phenom™ X4 9750 (2,40 GHz, 512 KB x 4)
4.096 MB 800 MHz Dual Channel DDR2 [4 x 1.024]
1.024 MB NVIDIA GeForce GT220

2)Intel® Core™ 2 Quad-core Q8300 (2,5 GHz, FSB 1.333 MHz, cache da 4 MB)
SDRAM DDR3 4.096 MB [4x1.024], 1.067 MHz
ATI® Radeon™ 4850 512 MB

3)Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 (2.66GHz/4MB L2/FSB: 1333MHz) 4GB DDR II 800Mhz (2 x 2GB)
ATI Radeon 4650

4)Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q8300
(2.5 Ghz, 4MB, 1333Mhz)
6144 MB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia® GeForce® GT220 1GB

5)AMD Phenom™ II X4 processor 805 (4x 2.5GHz)
4GB (2x 2GB)
ATI Radeon™ HD4650 Pro 1GB/2431MB

Anyone?
Thanks!

Definitely number 2.

Prices?

You're probably better off building your own.

Thanks for the advice.
What's the reason? The Radeon 4850 being better than GeForce GT220? Or the Q8300 being better than the AMD PhenomII?

Around €700

The 4850 card. The CPUs are somewhat equivalent. The video card difference is clear cut.

 

[xaira]

the 4850 makes build 2 superior, but if you could get build 5 with a 4850, ud have a real competitor

 

[jimishtar]

what on earth is NVIDIA GeForce GT220 ??

Do not waste your money on a 775 chip.

What's the problem with the 775 chips, are they that bad?

 

[Prescott_666]

There is nothing wrong with the 775 socket, but it's old. My Dell Precision 370 has a 775 socket and it runs fine, but it's not very powerful (although it was when it was new), and there is no upgrade path.

Considering the options, #2 is by far the best. That 4850 is the best video card there by a long shot.

Yeah you are right about the no upgrade path.

 

[warmon6]

as everyone else said #2 is the best option.

Socket 775 will not EOL before 2011 at the earliest.
