Hi,

Well, I'm about to buy a new PC.
I don't need a quadcore, but I want a Core 2 Duo (better than a dual core from what I've read).

Since it will be used too for gaming purposes (I'm 40, shame on me), I want to buy too a good mid range video card.

All in all, I want the best bang for the bucks.

As far as now I may eventually decide myself for this machine :

(I'll change the power supply for the video card, I don't need the monitor so the price will be lowered by 850 pesos).

Question : on mercadolibre is it the best deal for a core 2 duo ? Something I am missing ?

For the video cards, my choice has landed onto this special promotion (usually sells for 50 more dollars here) :
The GTS250

Eventually I could opt for the HD4850 (but it seems the GTS250 is better)

Eventually again, I could add 50 bucks and go for the Ati 5770 with 1GB of DDR5 :

Question : is my choice (GTS250) the best money wise or is it worth it going for the 5770 ? Any other video cards I may have missed ?


Thanks !
