Buying a new computer

I'm planning on buying a new computer, with vista home premium (cause my dad pays vista)
Budget: 500 euro's max...
Needed spec: Good graphic card, around 2.2Ghz Prefer Athlon64 X2 100gb hard disk 2gb memory

I'd say you would want to custom build your computer like I did? It's a lot cheaper than prebuilt ones. You wouldn't actually be able to buy a prebuilt computer with your needed specs for $500, you'd need probably at least $1000, here anyway. Read this thread for a bit of info. https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php/topic,8462.0.html.Also, since you want it anyway, get a AMD, maybe a Sempron or Athlon (AMD good for overclocking) or get an Intel if you want to be on the safe side. Also, RAM is quite cheap too, we picked up a 2GB Kingston ramstick for about $30 from a NZ internet store, with heat syncing (blue etc. cover that goes on the RAM to prevent it from burning), also it helps a lot with installing the RAM, I fuc*ing hate putting in a RAM with no cover, as my Foxconn motherboard is extremely tight, could barely fit in the case with the PSU, and it takes a lot of energy and strength to bloody put the thing in there and place the locks on.I wonder if you could settle for a 80GB hard disk or something, if not, get whatever size you want, Seagate and Western Digital are good, you can go for SATA or IDE, I forgot which one of those is a thin hard disk, so you save space. And I completely forgot what SLI is. I'm not too sure about a graphics card, I didn't need a good one, so it came with the motherboard, Via Chrome or something.

I found one who is very cheap and good (in my opinion) a HP/Compaq SR5411
found it on pcsnel.nl (dutch site) for 309 euro :o
Maybe this one is good?

intels do not perform as well as AMDs in my experience, and they cost more. SLI is when you have 2 nvidia graphics cards working together, you won't get SLI for your budget. Hard disks are pretty cheap nowadays, so that shouldn't be a problem, and whatever you do, AVOID onboard graphics; they slow down the machine and can't run games.

A link to the computer?
