Hey guys im about to invest in a new computer. I am not the guy to build one so im going to buy one. Im looking at 2 and i need your help as i dont know the effectiveness of the intigrated cards they come with, apso what you think is the better buy.

3 things to know:
I realize intigrated is usually ****, but i dont care right now
I know enough about computers to generally know what to look for
Every spec not mentioned is exactly the same on both machines. Same manufacturer same case etc

Computer 1
Price $500
8gb DDR3 ram
1tb drive
Phenom quad 3.4GHz 955 CPU
nvidia geforce 7025

Computer 2
For an extra $100 ($600) i could get
4gb more ram
1tb more drive
Radeon HD 3000 graphics
Same CPU

Ok lol wow, as i was typing this, i checked the website to refresh myself on the specs, and it says computer 2 is no longer avaliable, thats ****. Well guess i dont have much of a choice then do i. Still, what do you think the better buy would be?
If it isnt **** offered, why the **** is it still on the main page as "top sellers" **** this, im going home
Sorry typo the clock speed is 3.2 GHz on the processor, not 3.4

Both of the computers are actually pretty decent for the price since they are already build. The only downside is the graphics which is Radeon 3000. That graphics card is old plus the NVIDIA GeForce 7025 now a days is also old and on integrated in some motherboards already.

Overall it is pretty good. Go for the second one!!!

12gb of RAM
2tb HDD
Phenom II x4 955
Radeon 3000

I think i can get pretty muck the same comp with an i7 for another hundred, but i dont think my parents will let me put seven bills on anything right now, considerimg im in a battle for a comp in the first place. I am pretty sure thet may give in, as my comp just crashed after i installed windows for the third time in 48 hours. It is a physical error im pretty sure the motherboard is broken

Just get the one that is $600. However only if your parents allow the $700 then go for the i7.
