it held a secret bbq without me :'(

Btw I have a question...

What is better:

950 euro for intel core i5 @ 3,3 ghz, radeon HD 7850, 8 MB memory....

OR

800 euro for intel core i7 @ 3,4 Ghz, radeon HD 7570, 6 MB memory...

compare price and specs.. I have no idea, I am a bit limited on my budget, but if the upper one (self made) really is much better I am willing to spend more money. the 2nd is a pre-fab, HP, but cost way less. Tell me how you guys think about it.

7850 is high-end video card instead of 7570 which is low budget card where you will be unable to play games on full HD
6gb vs 8gb doesnt make huge difference since all games run smooth with 4gb ram - tested on my own pc
and about processor i5 or even i7 are worth only in case if you doing some video edit/programming or something where you will run all 4 cores,most games still use only 2 cores - tested on my own pc
So i find pointless buying machine with i7 no matter how rich you are.
900 euro is way too much cash even for gaming config so i would search deeper about better offer in local shops or over internet,600-700 euro would fit anything what you mind to play talking about machine without monitor or installed windows 7.

Check price of this components in NL cause they are best for cash here

Asus P8H67 B3
Intel I5-2500k
ATI Radeon HD 7850 2gb twin frozr
2x4Gb kingston hyperX 1600mhz
Seasonic SS-430GB of better
1TB hard drive
Dvd/rw
and desktop case choose on your own

Should be less than 700 euro. ;)

why twin frozr?
it seems like gigabyte's OC edition is the best deal ( +12% factory OC and 3 year warranty)

Gigabyte is great with motherboards no doubt i have one MA770T-UD3,3 years warranty all solid state capatitors dual bios ets,but about video cards i have no such great opinion or better to say they fail much in period behind us.
Am refused to suggest brand which has lot overheated or total burned chips in past 2 year,where shops send you other brand of same card such as Asus,MSI,Powercolor... in warranty period cause they know Gigabyte models wont least 3 years as warranty says.
To be honest i was nearly close to buy 6850 by Gigabyte cause heatsink looks masive and silent,3 years warranty looks great but when i read plenty of bad reviews about card i went in MSI squad...
Now days they trying earn new customers in their squad with 3 years warranty and overclocked core clocks which is good offer but still i find that tricky...
No doubt one day Gigabyte will take lead position of Asus but at this moment i find Asus,Sapphire or MSI for better models of 7850  ;)

ok, in that case sapphire looks like a good one.
the msi one looks quite loud with the tiny fans, i could be wrong tho.

Ok.. still didn't buy anything, lol.

I was looking at this site.. and found this: http://azerty.nl/1-2812-519006/azgamesystem-tacitus-towermodel-1-x-intel-core-i5-3450-3-1-ghz-ram-8-gb-vaste-schijf-1-x-1000-gb.html

sounds like a good pc, fair price (I do not overclock).. but one question remains, is the 430 Watt power supply sufficient? (I know it will be sufficient, but I saw at many sites with pcs like that having 500 or 600 watt power supply, that is why I doubt)

450 watt aren't enough imho.

650 watt are ok.

it is enough, else they won't sell it that way. but I am not sure how that works out on the longterm. or when pushing machine to the limit (doing a lot of stuff at the same time)

Configuration what you posted above made me believe they are out of experience to prepare good pc or they making some show just for laugh
no-name 430w on 6870  ??? or even worse part
micro atx motherboard in gaming machine  :o

This pc doesnt deserve your attention even if price is 500 euro,750 is way too much for this crap

mATX is smaller motherboard, which means it is compressed together and focused rather on size than performance, and can lack some features too.
it doesn't necessarily mean its bad, but ATX form factor motherboards will be better in general.

as a not overclocker, mATX wouldn't make much difference, but they offering it as a gaming pc is not right.

Micro ATX are often cheap and integrated motherboards,what is good offer only in case if you mind to prepare office-Low budget PC,never for pure gaming or even something what cost 700 euro....
Same goes with idea to put 430w PSU to run 6870
