If you can win the Pentium, go for that. If you don't win it, go for the Athlon 5200.

id like to build a computer i can get a mobo bundle for about 90£+ but then i cant buy a case pcu or HDD

If you want to build a good computer with quality part then you will need to raise more cash. 400 pounds minimum, that's for case, psu, ram mobo, cpu hard drives everything.

That Intel ebay rig has some serious problems. Intel 945 motherboards aren't even supposed to support e5200s. The ram is crap and they don't say what brand the psu is, which means it is crap. otherwise they would advertise it. The only thing usable is the cpu

The other bundles you posted also stink. They use cheap parts.

To me the best one so far was the X2 4600. I remember that Antec had huge problems with their PSUs but this one was clearly OK. Other than that it has an antec 900 case, 7800GTX, Asus A8N32-SLi mobo and 2GB of GSkill RAM which was all top notch stuff when it came out. Don't get me wrong, with the exception of the 900, this stuff is about 3 years old but it will be a big upgrade for you and if you managed to sell your current PC for £125 as you mentioned somewhere this will be a big boost for £35 it will need a HDD and OS though which puts a bit of a downer on the whole thing.

How much did you pay?

Re: My new RIG!!!

If it was a budget build and depending on the motherboard and the price you paid, yes it looks ok.
