You definitely don't want to buy that HP if you plan to put a video card in it. Without knowing what motherboard and power supply it has you don't know if your card will work in it. |
Thanks for the parts... I'll definitely look at some options.
I know benchmarks are hit and miss, and there is a lot of variation in systems, RAM, etc... but does this say that the old i7 processor is faster or more capable but more expensive than the newer i5 one, despite being 4.5 years older?
