TheWyrdOne 7 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Hmm..the second one sounds a little more futureproof. less need to upgrade later. What're the OS versions? 64? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grindboy 61 Report post Posted February 12, 2012 Personally I would never buy a shop built desktop. Building it yourself is educational and fun. Not to mention cheaper. There are plenty of tutorials online and as long as you are careful you can't really go wrong. Here's a great place to start: http://www.lifehacker.com/5840963/the-best-pcs-you-can-build-for-600-and-1200 it runs down the $600 and $1,200 options.
