Is this a good desktop- advice needed please?

Question

I am looking for a new desktop PC and wondered if there was anyone on here with a bit more expertise in the area of computers than me who could tell me whether or not this has a good spec (sorry I can't post a link):

Genuine Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium
Intel® CoreTM 2 Quad Processor Q8300
Processor speed 2.5GHz, 4MB L2 Cache
4GB DDR2-SDRAM
1000GB (1TB) Hard Disk
DVD Re-Writer
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT9500GT
Integrated Memory Card Reader
Network controller Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
IEEE 1394 FireWire
8 Channel Audio
PS/2 keyboard and optical mouse

Make- Medion
Price- £449.99

I do not want to spend any more money that this. Another one I've seen is this one, not as expensive, but could be better value:

Thanks in advance for any advice or other suggestions.

Answer 1

For the price, it is fairly good. I personally think the second option (the cheaper one) is a better value.



Just note though, your 4 GB of RAM will only appear as 3.5 or so due to the 32-bit OS limitation.

Answer 2

yes that is really good but you should swap the graphics card to nvidia geforce 8800gt because its just as powerful as a 9800gt and its cheaper.



(also you should use windows 7 ultimate 64 bit full version instead of windows vista 32 bit because its faster and using a 64 bit os will take advantage of the 4gb ram)

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

That is a fantastic deal.

Answer 5

Answer 6

not just good, fab, and that price... its cheap... LOL
