New Computer

The first one is a better choice, I assume these are prebuilt? The only issue I have with the first one is the Seagate harddrive. Seagate is pretty unreliable nowadays, it would be much better to go with something like Western Digital.

OK... I order & buy, they build & test & install system.

I think that looks good. Comments?

[Soviet]

It looks good and from my estimates that price isn't bad at all. I approve.

[BatterY]

Which comes back to the final question, will it run cod4 max settings stable 333fps?

[Soviet]

On stock maps? Probably not. Your graphics card isn't good enough to ensure that.

[BatterY]

OK, but how about stable 250? for bouncing?

[Soviet]

Possibly, I'd still say your video card would be bottlenecking system performance for you though.

[BatterY]

Yeah, but i'm getting silent AND powerful computer, so I need to make a few compromises.
