Hi im buying a new pc next month and i wanted to know if you experts could give me an honest oppinion
The PC i have in mind is a FujitsuSiemens Scaleo H
AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 4200+
2048mb DDR2
500gb HD
nVidia GeForce 7500LE 512mb.
The price for this setup is 1050euros (i live in Europe)
So is it completely trash and /or should i build my own for the same money(tft screen not included)
Thank You.

Edit: Oh and i forgot it comes with Vista homepremium.

Are you confident that you can build a computer yourself?

Does it come with a monitor and other stuff? If not 1050 euros IMO is too much.

if u can stretch ure budget, i would recommend a core 2 duo around the 2.6-2.9GHz mark and a Geforce 7950 or ati radeon x1950. if u can really stretch it, try and get a geforce 8800 card of some sort as these are DX10 chips (though if u want a DX10 card u may want to hold off and see what ati come up with before investing).

The 2.9GHz mark? You mean the mark where the processor costs as much as the entire current rig? I'd shoot for Core 2 Duo as well, and that 7500 card won't be much good for games.

i hope what he meant was an overclock, otherwise the e6700 or the x6800 is overkill.

1050 euros is about $1400? You could build a much more powerful PC.

The current one I'm planning on making comes to $1200 including shipping from NewEgg, with an E6400 and 8800GTS 320MB and 2GB DDR2. You could upgrade the CPU to an E6600 and the 8800GTS to 640MB for that same $1400.
