Hi,
My Desktop PC looks on it's last legs. It died today, and whilst it is currently working (on me getting everything I can backed up), I don't think it will work reliably again (errors with HDD / motherboard / not seeing all drives etc)
I haven't kept up with the latest hardware, so I have a few questions:
This looks OK - I think?:

Or this one:

I haven't kept up with the latest hardware, so I have a few questions:
- Is a Phenom processor any good? I know Celerons & Semprons are a bit cack, but what about a Phenom? How does it compare to a Core Duo/Core Duo 2?
- Are Aria systems any good?
- And good suggestions for about the £200-£250 mark (no monitor etc needed), occasional games but nothing more stressful than Command & Conquer)
- Refurbished would be OK, since I'll no doubt open it up anyway
- Is there anywhere with a good sale on?
