Friend of mine is looking for a new PC, his is an outdated HP with an AGP slot and a P4 w/ HT CPU, so yea 6years old or so. Won't be much of an up-grader, but having the option is nice if not going outside the budget, but he is more likely just to do a full build again when the time comes.I was poking around the threads here and it seems more people are recommending AMD rather than Intel when i put mine together a few months back. I really just want to put something stable together, get it together, turn it on and not have to troubleshoot problems from weeks, so if it means using intel branded mobo or whatnot, I dont care.
Also I was looking at video cards along the lines of the radeon 4850/nvidia 9800gtx. is there much difference from that generation than the next 260 generation?
