Hey i have a question about the quality and differences in computers.

My friend is building a computer for video editing/gaming i was wondering whats the difference between his cheap comboed computer vs mine

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.201922

Mine is a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB)
EVGA 512-P3-N841-AR GeForce 8800GTS
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel

Hes gonna use adobe premier for video editing and play games like tf2 etc. I alreayd do both and dont lag or experience any problems i was wondering will he?
 
we cant see the combo deal anymore because its over.. you need to post exactly what hardware it is..
 
Ditch the ECS and ditch the cpu.

I would go with a different quad core from Intel and a different video card.

Whats his budget?

Others can probably help you more then me.

the big question is how much did he pay for all that?

i agree the ECS is a pos.. depending on what games he plays.. the 5200+ will play most games perfectly fine.. its not the best.. but on a cheap budget it will work and can overclock pretty well.. but the 3650 wont cut it playing TF2 over 1280x1024..

If your just gaming I would go with a Kuma 7750.

I got one at 3.0ghz, I don't ever get the good overclocking CPU's :(.
