Something to bear in mind.

Having said that, I do like Dell - good reliable machines

A lot of Dell printers are just rebadged Lexmark 720`s i think and you can buy the ink from almost anywhere but it is probably cheaper to buy a new 720 which comes with ink rather than just buy the ink cartridges themselves! ( Not a Comma Anywhere!)

FX-57 > X2 4800+ in gaming

My chip (FX53) seems to be on the same level really.

So if you really truely will only ever use the pc for gaming and will never encode a dvd while you want to surf the net or encode a dvd then pop onto a game server while waiting , Buy an FX

Oh and just for the record the OP didnt offer an FX as one of his possibilities

Here is my benchmark

Pc playing MoH with the guys oh no avast installing updates(I have enough bandwidth to spare to handle a dat)LAGGGGGGGGGGGGG Nemmy wins damn

Pc with dual core playing MoH with the guys oh look avast just upgraded didnt notice that Nemmy dies and loses the map yet again

Sorry to bring this back up guys but still not decided! Can't afford to shell out for the dual core one, but would this one http://www.meshcomputers.com/updated...scendaplus.htm

do for now? I mean, is it easily upgradable and ready for the next gen of processors? Is the motherboard alright in terms of longevity? Cheers.
