APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: July 31
BUDGET RANGE: US$600 - $650
note:
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Graphic apps(photoshop), web dev IDE app (Netbeans, will run AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) locally for testing ) video editing.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Every thing except monitor. I am planning to buy 24 inch monitor later.
PARTS PREFERENCES: run quite, fast
OVERCLOCKING: Yes if possible
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes if possible
MONITOR RESOLUTION: full full
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: A quiet and cool pc is needed.
I am pondering both buying one from ebay or build my self.
I found a used hp xw4600 on ebay and it has the following spec. It looks decent.
Core2Duo 3Ghz (Q9300)
250Gb SATA HDD
4Gb of DDR2/800 RAM
Nvidia FX1700 Video (512Mb)
I am wondering whether I can build a system with $600 budget to have a better performing system then the hp.
Or just would it be better off to buy the used one above.
Thank you so much for your advice.
