Hi, sorry to be a pain, but whats your opinion on this,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=5225524511

i want to use it as a gaming pc, for age of the empires 3 hopefully and for real up to date games, is it up to it, because i thought the 6600 was the best card avaliable

thanks

I don't feel too great about stores like that, but yeah, it should be quite good...

i feel the same as The_other_one, i dont really like stores like ebay, i dont tend to trust people on there, but that does look like a decent pc for the price

you say it would be quite good, what elese could be upgraded on it? i was thinking of upgrading the ram to 2gb, also what type of flat screen monitor would you suggest for this type of pc, cheap as possible, but no cheap crap, if you see what i mean,

oh yeah and the other thing is that i wont be buying a pc for about a month, so would this pc be cheaper in a months time, or would i get more for the same price in a months time,

i know in the pc world a lot could change in a months time,

oh, one more thing, is there a website that explains about building pc's etc, as i am very interesting in learning about upgrading, and building from scratch etc, as now, i feel i am buying a pc but blind, i dont know what im buying, as i just see the bigger the numbers the better, but of course that is not true,

I dont like it simply based on the fact that they said "FX 6600" -- shows plenty clear that they ... the people who built/have your computer ... dont know diddly squat about computers ... do you really want to buy from them?

Also be very concerned with the video card as they say

Yet the 6600 class is 0.11 process (i.e., you're not getting a 6600 like you think you are)
