Re: Which one is better?

Well the specs are fine all but the card, get a 9600GT at least if it is only for Project Reality.

Thespecs are fine, BUT th 9600GT does not match match the processor, I went to www.nvidia.com and i clicked a link that helps you buy gaming computers, in this link you get the gaming CPUs And GPUs, you choose the CPU and GPU you want and you get the result.
I chose the E8400 with the 9600GT it didnt match perfectly so then i chose the E7200 with the 9600GT i go a perfect match, so with the E8400 I'll need at least nVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 to work perfectly.
and Its not only project reality but BF2 is the main game the i want to intall Test drive unlimited.

You're misinterpreting the results. Besides, Nvidia hates Intel. Having a better CPU will not make your graphics card work worse, it's the other way around. A 9600GT + E5200 will play BF2 fine. A weaker processor will bottleneck the graphics card, but having an overly powered CPU with a crap graphics card won't run well either (which is the idea Nvidia's going for I think).

Re: Which one is better?

yeah Nvidia just want you to spend more cash on your graphics card than the CPU. Listen to wizard!

So nVIDIA are liars and i can get the E8400 with the 9600GT and work perfectly?

Re: Which one is better?

Yeah, but the 6600gt isn't a very good card.

For gaming, a Radeon 4850 would be better. Cheaper and plays games a lot quicker.

Re: Which one is better?

lol we cant use colloquialisms with this guy lads, i dont think his english is very good :p

Basically, i think our general recommendation for someone in your position to work towards would be:

CPU - Intel E8400
Graphics Card - ATI HD4850

If you cannot afford both of these within the amount of money you have to buy the computer, get a lesser CPU such as the Intel E7200 or the E5200. If this is still to expensive for you then you can drop the graphics card to an ATI HD4830 or HD4670 but the performance you pay for isnt as good value as it is with the HD4850.

fo sho = for sure = the 4850 is the best for sure

i would go with the 4850 also
