Do PCs need all that power for their *constant* rebooting?

but it does make sense, 2.9% fee on 640 is like £20, then i have a year and a half to pay it off

i will prob clear it with after the wedding and money is more stable

will let you know what its like, he said he can get it to me by tuesday first thing, i was a bit suspicious about the whole thing as it quite cheap but he replies to emails and texts quickly, its paid on a cc so i can claim it back if its not legit, and i may be wrong here but can ppl fake computer parts, i mean i will open it up and know what to look for inside to make sure everything is how it should be

pc turned up in 2 days, he did sent it parcelforce 24 but must have missed the evening cut off. Well its as described and for £640 a bargain (well for the spec), he even put in a better motherboard that can handle 2 graphics cards free of charge, also installed office 2007 free aswell.

trying it against a few games, om fm 2010 old pc was 1/2 a star this is 5 stars and even with about 10 leagues on large data its still on 5 stars
starcraft 2 use to take 3-5 mins to load a map and ran on lowest setting, now takes 20 secs and plays on everything maxed out and runs fine
the 6 cores do work well, i started by downloading about 5 things, installed 4 things at once and running stuff off a card reader, so lots going on and pc never lagged and on the output from the cores not even at half speed. so no complaints so far

Sounds good, the only reason I want a new PC is to play SC2 online without being the bugger that keeps lagging! Do you play online at all?

I am now thinking of going for a laptop rather than a tower because I fancy something I can take round the girlfriends, I know it wont be as powerful but I only need it to play CS:S, SC2 and Diable 3 when it comes out.

yes i play online, pm me your name and i will add you, i only have a 1mb connection and playing 1v1 or 2v2 on max graphics i have never lagged once or had any issues, even the last game where it was a long one and all 4 players had a max 200 units and one big battle and still ran fine where the old one once ppl maxed units it chopped all over the place
