Is this a decent desktop? Ideas?

[Hilly234]

Can I have a few opinions or a bit of input from people that know what they're talking about with computers, I will be using this for gaming 100%, using RSbot for botting, and Runescape for obvious playing. TY.

If you have any other deals that are going on could you leave the links. I will not be building my own, I want pre-built. :'(

Also I only have like £400 max budget.

Choose either Windows 7 or XP for your Operating System, and you should be alright for medium end games depending on your video card. If you're only playing Runescape this is more than enough.

Ok thanks, so I just need to look for one with xp or windows 7 OS.
Will this run Runescape well, also will I be able to have other applications open, such as MSN, RSbot and Runescape client? Would this cope ok without lagging or losing connection?

The one I'm looking at, or this?

Sounds great to me.
Depends on which game you are playing, for runescape this is more than you really need.
But, bigger the better?

Ty for your input

Yeah all I plan on playing on this desktop is Runescape as I have a seperate Dell inspiron laptop for all my work stuff, and the rest.

On this desktop I will basically have 3 windows open almost 24/7.

- RSbot
- Runescape running on Firefox
- MSN

I just want a decent desktop that will run them all without any delays or major lag, is that too much to ask of a desktop?

 

[Hilly234]

This is the laptop I use currently for running
- Rsbot
- MSN
- Runescape client on Firefox

This runs but with severe lag, often losing connection, also severly lags when I just run the Runescape client on Firefox/I.E, frankly it's horrible.

Can anyone assure me that this desktop at the top, will be a LOT better then my current laptop?

 

[Hilly234]

BUMP, Anyone got anythin else to add?

 

[Sup3r 4ut03r]

Yes, I COMPLETELY GUARANTEE that the desktop will be 5000000 times better. It has a faster processor, a lot more memory, and it's just generally better in every way. You'll be happy.

 

[TruInferno]

its ok. you can do better. build your own laptop for cheap or go to tigerdirect they have a bunch of holiday deals out. look for emachines
