My old desktop broke so I'm planning on buying a new one. I'll be doing some gaming, video editing, and graphic/web design with dual monitors.

I don't care much about hard drive space, I have my own wireless adapter and sound card, and I don't plan on upgrading parts in the future.

All of them have Vista Home Premium [64-Bit] with free upgrade to Windows 7, integrated audio, DVD burner, Ethernet.

Or if you have any suggestions on other models let me know

i gotta say the third one. the graphic card is better. you definitely dont need more than 4gb of ram. and intel core professor is better than amd phenom.

Sim Kai Long · 07-31-2009, 05:40 AM

If you could, go for custom built ones. But if not. Definitely build 3. It's got a decent graphic card.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

incredibad · 08-01-2009, 03:32 PM

yea custom is better for cheaper, but for gaming 3rd option is best

bowen317 · 08-01-2009, 03:34 PM

Get this:

Evertek Wholesale Computer Parts - HP Pavilion Elite m9340f Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz 6GB 750GB DVD±RW DL Vista Home Premium w/TV Tuner, HDMI -New Open Box , KQ497AA-OB

The TV tuner is worth $60 itself.

adidas5on5 · 08-01-2009, 06:16 PM

cyperpower...cos its the cheapest of the bunch with decent quad and geforce

you can also get another 2gb ram for like $15-$20 so get that one

sean · 08-01-2009, 06:19 PM

That's a bit more than I'd like to pay and the TV tuner is worthless in my situation

KiNGPiSSER · 08-01-2009, 11:41 PM

GO for HP Pavilion p6130f

gamemansnow · 08-01-2009, 11:52 PM

3 for sure

armman · 08-02-2009, 12:04 AM

Third one is what I will recommend.

fruity_looper · 08-02-2009, 12:13 AM

I say the third one.
making your own sounds better to me but idk.

MarioLopez · 08-02-2009, 12:34 AM

Its you choice but i agrre with every one else the thrid one!

assault14 · 08-02-2009, 01:03 AM

i would go with CyberpowerPC Gamer Infinity 3313 it is a lot better and u dont need more then 4gb of ram and the gpu is good

cheatcheat · 08-02-2009, 05:28 AM

HP Pavilion Elite e9105z.................

fourier · 08-15-2009, 11:02 AM

Third one is the best, period. The early phenom's have issues that you don't want to deal with. Ignore them.

You're better off buying a complete system off places like hardforums and anandtech, though, if you want best bang for buck. Just make sure you check the user's heat before you go merrily paypaling. Ask a lot of questions before you buy, and make sure the seller answer's concisely. Ask about shipping methods, guarantee on DOA (usually the shipper will insure it in this case, so if it does come DOA, the carrier usually covers it if there's reason to believe it was due to handling and care).

14md4b357 · 08-21-2009, 07:42 PM

I am with everyone else I would go for 3rd one.

retrac1324 · 08-21-2009, 07:49 PM

8GB DDR2 @ 800 Mhz RAM
640 GB SATA 3Gb/s @ 7200 RPM Drive
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB Graphics
Windows Vista 64-Bit

nice

i woulda said the first. i like hp and in my opinion AMD is a better processor than intel. nice deal tho!

coldcheeks · 09-05-2009, 06:15 AM

Well is all really depends on what your needs are, and what your going to be using the rig for? The cheaper price looks tempting

Ferozkhanhamid · 09-05-2009, 06:28 AM

Defenitely the CyberpowerPC Gamer Infinity 3313. Its got a better PCIe card and a core 2quad is more powerful than an AMD one

humanch · 09-05-2009, 12:13 PM

The second one if you do not mind using AMD.

Lebsta · 09-05-2009, 12:22 PM

Intel Quads fail, second or first k
