I was looking for a new computer and decided to just buy one already built instead of building one myself. I just need a computer that would be fast and let me play some games. Not any serious gaming but source engine games like HL2 and CSS. If it played something like MW2 though, that would be nice. My budget is right at $600. Here's a couple I found that I wanted. They are iBuypower but I'm not buying directly from them.
#1 iBUYPOWER Gamer Power WA527D3 Desktop PC with AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor, NVIDIA GT220 graphics Windows 7 Home Premium - $588.00
#2 iBUYPOWER Gamer Power 538D3 Athlon II X2 240(2.8GHz) 4GB DDR3 500GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - $569.99
#3 iBUYPOWER Gamer Power 554D3 Athlon II X4 640(3.0GHz) 4GB DDR3 1TB ATI Radeon HD 5570 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - $609.00
From benchmarks I've seen, the GT240 is better than the 5570, and both are a lot better than the GT220. If they all had the same CPU, I would go for the GT240, but should I get the 5570 just for the better CPU?
