Answer 1

Looks pretty good, over the top actually. He could save you a bunch of money if he'd just get a cheaper video card



Though the one you were going to buy has an even better video card and as far as multitasking goes the one you wanted has a quad core processor and his is only dual core. He's wrong to think that AMD is better at this point, Intel has been winning all the performance benchmarks since the day they released the E6600 and etc.

Answer 2

I would probably buy it at around #1000., but it could be a gaming computer aswell...so if u r gonna sell it then dont say "pc built for multitasking as opposed to gaming"



All in all : great PC/ good price

Answer 3

650$ or 2200$?
