    Which PC Would You Recommend From These Two?

    There's two PCs on eBay that my brother is looking at buying.

    I wanna know which of the two you guys would recommend, which is better.
    He wants to do the usual boy stuff, play high end games, surf the net, sit on youtube for three hours straight, download a bunch of things, play music etc.

    The games thing is the main one I think, he does a lot online, like COD4, warcraft etc.

    They both have two year warranties, have been tested, have drivers and manuals included, etc ladida.
    No monitors or Windows or accessories or anything like that, he doesn't need them.



    First one:

    Hard drives are getting cheaper, and he can get an external one to back up his hard drive and still have enough space to store tons of items on it.

    So the AMD one it is?
    Will the RAM and graphics card do a good job for what he needs?


    And true..he can always get another hard drive.

    As far as I can tell, the graphics card will be decent enough for some gaming. As for the ram, if it comes with 4GB of ram, then I assume it's a 64-bit OS, upgradeable to either 6GB or 8GB of ram.

    He'll get more RAM eventually.

    It is a 64bit OS.
