if you wanna stay cheap go for the amd phenom x4 955 black edition but if you wanna go for a bit more go for a i5 2500k or a i7 2600k

Define cheepish, also what exactly do you want to use it for?

*sigh* yeah I know :/

Stay away from the PC on the link you gave, it's total junk for gaming.

I would recommend you build your own PC, as you will get more bang for your buck and it's really not that hard.

Something like this will get you pretty decent performance in modern games, but with a fairly low price tag but it will also leave your options to upgrade to Ivy bridge later open.

You could make it even cheaper if you don't mind going with a slightly cheaper hard drive and a cheaper H67/H61 motherboard.

Samsung Spinpoint F3 is 1TB and cheaper right now on Newegg. Green drives are awful for boot as well.

Corsair 400R is also $80 right now, get that instead.

I'd say the new Ripjaws design is worth a dollar.

TX650 is 10 bucks more, as is the OCZ ZT 750. Both are far better units.

No ODD?

Combo deals will also bring the price even lower, haven't checked them though.

Western Digital drives come with great reliability, so that's what you pay extra for.

I tried to keep the price as low as possible, and the 300R is perfectly fine for a build that isn't going to run too hot.

My bad for everything else, just wasn't concentrating.

Cheers for putting me straight.
