Computer advice

[kittyfloss--13]

Basically I want a Computer to do all of my work on,Aswell as to do my gaming on Viva pinata and Fallout 3...These are just some models that I could get and my friend is getting some quotes on some more tower type models for Monday,now so that means that I have 'till moday to pick my favourite out of these and the decide which to get

First :http://www.acer.co.uk/acer/productv.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&kcond61e.c2att101=65033&sp=page16e&ctx2.c2att1=17&link=ln438e&CountryISOCtxParam=UK&ctx1g.c2att92=242&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=3764732645
That one has a NAVIDA 9800 graphic card though...not a Geforce
GOODS Cheap for windows 7,1TB HDD,4GB of RAMM and 19" screen
BADS.Being quite small will make it difficult to get replacement parts or upgraded parts for cheap rather than double manufacturer price
€600

Second is a HP Compaq
E7500 With core 2
3 GB RAMM
500 GB HDD
Windows 7 premium (or professional for €20 more)
Geforce GT9800 1 GB Graphic card (€150)
Couple of other basics
GOODS Good price for a Tower with Windows 7,top of the line graphic card and good RAMM and HDD
BADS Price is not too bad but,quite good..but still missing that ummph!
€690

Third is another acer
X3812 http://www.acer.co.uk/acer/productv.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&kcond61e.c2att101=65461&sp=page16e&ctx2.c2att1=17&link=ln438e&CountryISOCtxParam=UK&ctx1g.c2att92=242&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=4294006711
Quad 8300 processor
4 GB RAMM
1 TB HDD
ATD 4350 -512 MB RAMM
20" LCD
Blueray drive
€875
GOODS Price is €125 over my limit,Nearly everything is brilliant
BADS.Not too impressed with graphic Card for that price

The 2nd one seems most likely as I can take The components out and change them without much hastle..where as the other 2...the pieces need to fit perfectly in order to work.

You should get the one with the best graphics card but then again you dont want to break the bank. What you could do is buy the cheapest one then slowly install the components that you want in it you know save money up. Hope that helps!

I'd say either of the last two would be good. I'm getting a new computer meself for Christmas since my desktop is so old it can't go on the internet even, and I've been saving my money so I can go for the best model I can. Whatever you do, it'll be outdated in 5 years anyway. Thing is, you want to keep what you're using it for in mind.

If you're just using it for gaming, I'd say go for the middle one since you can replace parts when you want.

They didn't make The "Golden joystick PC GOTY"..Compataible with windows 7...- PC Game of the Year is up. Voted at third place is Call of Duty: World at War, WoW in second and the winner is... Fallout 3. Well deserved. Remember it missed the voting window for last year's awards.

The big One: Ultimate Game of the Year sponsored by Zavvi.co.uk. Third place is Left 4 Dead. Drama now. Second place goes to... Call of Duty: World at War. Oooh. And the winner is... Fallout 3. It's been a year since release, but Bethesda's opus certainly has a massive fanbase. Well done, Bethesda.
It won ultimate GOTY aswell,Now I find out,If I buy a new computer I suddenly need to downgrade to Vista to play One of my favourite Games!

EDIT: Slight bit of news on this matter,Some people have problems,some don't.Seeing as though mine will be a fresh PC off the assembly line IT SHOULD run Fallout 3 sucessfully!

Luckily Viva Pinata is Compatible...or else microsoft deserve a slap for not making THEIR OWN game, work on THEIR OWN software
