Both seem quiet old, but the intel spec looks slightly better. Not sure how either could be upgraded really without knowing the motherboard and from experience computers you buy from the likes of HP are always very difficult to upgrade.

If you had some kinda of budget maybe you could get a new PC wouldn't mind specing you one from PCS.

I picked the machine from the site I wanted to buy, paid the deposit but got turned down for finance and can't afford to splash out in 1 go for 1 this side of christmas so was just curious as to which base unit is better to use until im in a position to buy a new pc from the site.

On this site they offer fiance option where you pay 10% now and you can pay the rest over a period of your choosing. Also like the idea that if you want to you could pay of the remainder in 3months time for example.

Could be a good option if you need something now.

Have you had credit before / Phone Contract e.t.c could be a reason why you was declined that can be solved, or could be that you just dont have a good enough credit history yet :(

We encourage discussion on any PC / Tech related subject and welcome any here with similar interests to us and our customers. We will, of course, remove any posts that actively advertise for other companies especially competitors as after all we are a business.

If anything this thread is just in the wrong sub-forum.

P.S

Those two machines are not really worth upgrading.

Sell the PCs.

Wait until after Xmas, review your credit rating.

Then buy a beasty PC from PCS! :D


Guys, I don't understand, saying this guy isn't in the right place. Of course he is, Gorman, anyone from PCs, me and I would expect anyone else to see how this could quite easily turn into somebody buying a PC from PCS.

someone asks about PCs, told that he's in the best place for buying PCs ;) gets convinced to buy a great PC from PCs :p

pretty obvious xD
