Buying advice

[Sam280691]

I have 2 computers in mind but im not sure which I should buy.

http://www.alienware.co.uk/Configur...SysCode=PC-EU-A51-5500-R3&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT

This with added:

Intel® Pentium® Processor 930 w/ Dual Core Technology 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB

2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz - 4 x 512MB

256MB PCI-Express x16 NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7800 GTX


OR


http://www.meshcomputers.com/Default.aspx?PAGE=PRODUCTCONFIGPAGE&USG=PRODUCT&ENT=PRODUCT&KEY=56504

With a added 2gb ram.

When i went through this I though the mesh would be better cus it has SLi however im not sure about the processor.

Thx For Your Help !

I would say neither, but out of the two the second one. But in the second one, you don't want:
The PSU that comes with the case
The sli 6800xt's (LOL)
instead get the 7800GTX 512mb or 7800GTX 256mb
remember you could get cheaper if you built it yourself.

Im not exactly the greatest with comp's so i dont have a clue how to build my own comp.

Get the second one, the AMD X2 will kill the Pentium D.
You want to get the 7800gtx cuz it is much better than 2x 6800xt.
Building computers is easy and MUCH cheaper. I built mine with minimal experience and its a beast.
If you decide to build your own, pretty much anyone here would help you if you have questions/problems.

yes i had no clue about comp at all and i just built 1 for myself. it was like puzzles.
took me only a day to built it but took me 2 weeks to tweak it after that..
so actual building part isnt the problem i think...as long as u arent eating pizza while building it or completely drunk and/or stoned, ull be fine.

Pretty good explanation. What's your budget? What are you doing with the computer? You should have no problem getting a part list off this forum.
