Thread: Need your Opinions :) Buying components for PC

Just wanted to ask you fellow gamers one question.

I have this configuration:

Display: Samsung SyncMaster943 - 19"

Motherboard: Gigabyte M52L-S3P

Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.80GHz

RAM: 2GB DDR2

HDD: 320GB SATA2

Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 512MB

Box: Cooler Master Elite 332

But that is not enough for me at the moment, so I need your opinions.

I am thinking about these two PCs, what do you think?

FIRST PC

Motherboard: MB FM1 A55 MSI A55M-P35, PCIe/DDR3/SATA2/GLAN/7.1

Processor: APU FM1 AMD A6-3670K, Radeon™ HD 6530D/4MB Black Edition 2.70GHz

RAM: 8GB DDR3

HDD: 500GB

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon™ 6570 1GB DDR3 + AMD Radeon™ HD 6530D Crossfire

Box: ATX Midi Tower Spire 202, black

SECOND PC

Motherboard: MB FM1 A55M, PCIe/DDR3/SATA2/GLAN/7.1

Processor: AMD Athlon™ II X4 Quad-Core 631, 4MB BOX 32nm 2.60GHz

RAM: 4GB DDR3

HDD: 500GB

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon 6450 1GB/DDR3/VGA/DVI/HDMI

Box: Altos Q3335-A2, Black/Silver

What do you think?

I can buy components one by one, but that is more expensive.

Comments?

The first one is definitely better.
No doubt.

It is couple thousands more expensive.

Well.
Cause it's better :P

I will see what I will do.

Is that an SSD HDD? You should spend the extra and get it. I've seen incredible performance boost from it.

Really? I didn't know that can help.

I would prefer a SSD to hold your OS data and another HDD to hold everything else. When I make a custom build, that's my plan if I can afford it.

What are the prices?

Yeah, SSD is a lot faster.
Everything else looks good.
