Your opinions on these specs

phatbear

All,

Just trawling and considering buying myself a new PC and ran across this on comet:

Im not really one for using the "big stores" but this seemed a bit of a bargain considering the RAM and hard drive etc, so could someone run their eye over the specs and tell me if im missing something


thanks for now

The spec looks OK but if your planning to play games on it you'd probably have to upgrade the graphics card. Retailers seem to be trying to sell off the older Intel based PC's because of the newer dual core CPUs coming out.

Depends what you plan to use it for.

As mparter said, the graphics card is basic and will not handle new games at all well. The rest of the spec is easily sufficient for Office/Browsing/Emails and other everyday tasks.

Thanks for your reply.

I rely on my psp and xbox for games so the graphics card isnt a major issue for me

the one thing that would maybe an issue is i do a lot of amateur'ish photoshopping but my current pc seems to be up to the task and its nowehere near as powerful as my potential new one

Oh by the way, it doesn't appear to include a monitor!

phatbear
