Hi guys
I built a pc for my family a few years ago, now i need a new one for uni.
due to being a student my buget is tight, BUT i want this pc to last the 4 years of my course
perhaps with some upgrading
i wont be overclocking much, if at all, since i dont think its worth the effort
so the question is, i7 or AMD Phenon?
clearly AMD is cheaper, but after 4 years will the pc still be around med?
would i need to replace the mb and cpu in a few years?
planning to do some gaming (limited to cod6, total war, diablo 3)
but mainly just working. was thinking about a 4900 for the gpu... would this run cod6 well?
So the budget is about £700 with no monitor/keyboard/os - if it can be less then that is good
(i think ebuyer is the cheapest UK site - is this correct?)
thanks for all help!!!!
