Well corpse I forgot you should check the benchmarcs of each CPU.

Well here is a site where you can check prices,speed everything you need to know.

Ive looked and the intel CPU is better in this case.

My mum left the monitor on for 14 hours and now there's static burned into almost the whole screen, and I can barely read text. Looks like my PC budget's going down.

If you want to pay the shipping, I can send you a 21" Sony Trinitron monitor.
The catch is that it weighs about 50lbs (not sure what the metric conversion is on that)

Appreciate the offer man, but I recently removed my Dad's old tank of a TV from his house, and his stand for it was given a permanent sag from it. I doubt my desk would even fair that well.

and correction to what I said about PCs... I've just realized I'm 1 year late and forgot about what I've read recently... yeah, quads are the best choice now, cheap and quick.
To monitor, I've a really good one, I bought it 3 months ago, it had all the good marks in the internet and in magazines. Realatively good price for its value and AMAZING colours + damn good quality and cos it's LED it uses only 22W :)
here it is...

btw, I've just asked my friend who is a pro at comps and in 45 minutes found some really good alternativs for your comp. Just tell me what's your budget cos I have to look up to some USA shop and compare prices. And tell me if you want to overclock it. I will write down this list in max 1 day.

And there is a cheaper version:

GAMD Phenom 2 x2 565 BOX Black Edition

Radeon 5850

4-6GB RAM OCZ 1600Mhz DDR3 (or KIngston, same parameters)

then the thing (idk the english equivalent) that is responsible for power: Chieftec 600 (when you don't want to overclock) and OCZ Fatality OCZ750FTY-EU 750 W(when wanna overclock)

and mobo: asus M4A77TD/U35

Good hunting for best prices!

Thanks, I don't live in the USA so their shops may be unavailable for me.
My price range will hopefully be £600-750. I'm not going to overclock it.

Smart but from my expirience you wont need too.

And if your still buying that GPU you told me about it will never need overclocking.
