ALL computers are DDR3 ram. PLEASE VOTE. Thank you.

Building your own computer is ALOT cheaper and funner. I'd reccomend you build your own computer to save some money and they are better because they don't come installed with crapware etc.

 

#1, looks pretty damn cheap and has the potential to be a pretty good PC, be realistic i haven't ever used more than 100 gigs of space ever.

 

Which PC that best suites you depends on your needs. What will you be doing with it, I wonder? The cheapest isn't always the most bang for the buck.

 

I am going to be botting, recording in HD for montages. Mainly HD recording and botting. So I figured, RAM up! Right?

 

Anyone? I want atleast 15+ votess

 

emachines is the worst manufacturer ever. Anything but emachines.

 

Hmmm... I'll take that into consideration, thanks.

 

Actually i voted not on the manufacturer, but at the operating system, the stuff that comes with the PC. The 500 gb memory, 4 gb ram, the possible 2-3 GHZ processor and good Video card was what i took into consideration. however if SMR believes e machines suck, i would definitely listen to him.

That said i would take # 2 as my second option. once again similar specs and etc but a different company and the GB space is a bit more. The video card is great and comes with printer. Thats my view.

 

Gotchya, I still need more voters/posters though! C'mon guys!

 

I voted in the poll. I think you should listen to other peoples advice and take it more seriously rather than just dismissing it, however.

 

I voted for the HP.
Im not a fan of AMD proc's and you can always upgrade the graphics card and RAM and such to bring it up to par

 

The ASUS PC, in my opinion is the best. Just buy a AMD Phenom II X4 and add that in, then upgrade the graphics card to a ATI Radeon HD 5770. ASUS has a lot of support for Motherboads, so find your motherboard model and flash it with new firmwire.

I would also suggest building your own Computer, as it's a lot cheaper and a lot higher quality.

Not giving us any info on the power supply or the Ghz. Both of which are important.

Not voting until you post that info, but for the time being, i have an HP and I Havn't had a lot of problems with it.

 

I just bought an HP a month ago and love it. So far I have been able to multi-task very well, and run everything I need to on the highest settings. Although I purchased better equipment than you are going to, it still gets my vote.

-4 gigs of RAM is plenty for what you're doing.
-If you're recording HD videos I would suggest a larger Hard Drive.
-Intel vs. AMD.. you'll hear good arguments for both, so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

i wouldn't buy any of that crap i built my new pc and it runs better than any premade machine ive seen.

 

I VOTED! for hp... I hate everything else.

 

I got the asus! On my way home expect a short minitage!!

 

And again, wrong section
