I'm planning on buying a new computer, I play games such as WoW, Guild Wars, CSS, and BF2.

I don't know very much about computers, I dont know which of these 2 is better.

1. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....5054&rd=1&rd=1


2. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....8561&rd=1&rd=1

Which of these is more powerful?


Thanks

The first one for sure, its better and faster. The second one is slower by bit because of the video card, and I would not buy from that pc smit, sounds so dodgy IMO.

Thanks for your reply, but isn't the 7300 a newer model card?


Oh, and It doesn't say in either of them,can they run regular CD's?, because it only says DvD's.



Thanks

Normally any DvD player can do CD's too.

7300 is the newer model, but it is a slower newer model, the equivalent of a 6600gt card is a 7600gt card if talking about newer model. I use a 6600gt my self and its pretty decent, I play oblivion, hl2, cs:source on med to high settings. See this chart for your self, http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html 6600gt is clearly faster then the 7300. And yes you can run regular cds on the dvd burner you will get, it will run and burn both cds and dvds.

The computer has a 6600TD not GT, or are they the same thing?

The GT is overclocked, the TD is standard 300 core and 500 Mhz memory clock. There is probably gonna be a difference in performance, but should run GW good (I believe the GT is 500/1000).

Choose the 7300gs and 6600gt models from the top menu: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphi...40&char t=231 and any benchmark and on the bottom part of the chart you will find both 7300gs and 6600gt.
