new pc AMD or Intel?
At end of september most likely ill purchase a new pc
These 2 seem good value
http://www.cclonline.com/product/82442/ … L-EL-HWK2/
http://www.cclonline.com/product/83899/ … L-EL-KST2/
Both play latest game and are new cpus
Only small problem is ive got windows 7 32bit so am i right in thinking it will only recognise 4gb of ram and not the 8 the system is supplied with?
Comments please?
Good deal or seen similar spec cheaper elsewhere?

The Intel processor will be quicker but not by a huge amount. They have different graphics cards as well so you will need to look at which of those preforms better as well.
Yes a 32bit OS can only handle up to 4Gb of RAM. Once other things have been taken into account you'll have about 3.5GB of usable memory.

Re: new pc AMD or Intel?
Having looked around the amd 7770 is slightly faster that the nvidia gtx 550ti and runs cooler due to 2 immense fans!
The i3 cpu is deemed much quicker than the amd 4100 bulldozer by some 10-20%
negligible really,just a matter of preference
