Best PC for EUR 800

Sixpack · 10-21-07, 03:27 PM

Okay, I am on the lookout for a PC (price excl. monitor; but with Windows). Home made is not an option. Upgrading neither, because my home rig is moving to the office.

Athlon or Intel ?
At least 2 GIG RAM; that's obvious
Around 300 GB HD seems enough for me. I'm still on 40 GB now (not hardly enough obviously)
Vid card: ATI or nVidia ? Cant decide on the reviews I read.

My games: I rarely play anymore but when I do it's a bit of the oldies I once played pretty intensively, and some new:

SH3 (love to see GWX @max graph settings !)
Sub Command (got no time for DW anyway)
EEAH/EECH (How could I forgot to mention first time ?)
Virtual Skipper 4 (ditto)
BOB 2
OFF (WW1 of Microsoft CFS)
Total Air War
Falcon 4
LOMAC
Pacific Fighters
Operation Flashpoint (like to have a go at some mods finally)
Nascar 2003 (papyrus' last)
Richard Burns (RIP) rally
GPL & some mods

Wishlist for as far as I am aware of developments:

SH 4 obviously !! (@ almost max settings if possible)
A Falklands' War combat flight sim; forgot the name (when reviews are good)
Black Shark (heli) and next dedicated sims in that franchise (seems the Apache is coming up HI FI like never b4 !!)

Thanks for advice

PS perhaps Dutch can point me to a store. However, the ones I know Mycom, Paradigit, Vobis, Computerland, and a few more dont seem to have a good enough system for that price. I could wait for another 6 months if that'd be wiser, no prob. Better deals all the time.
