    Looking at this dell build http://www.dell.com/ie/p/inspiron-3646-small-desktop/pd?oc=cd64608&model_id=inspiron-3646-small-desktop

    Will use it for essentials like office but also gaming for Insurgency, (able to run it on an old Dimension 9150 with 4GB RAM & a 9500GT) That PC is crapping out so just looking for a handy upgrade.

    Just wondering if the masters here think they can get more bang for the buck for the €419 it costs. Would need everything included, Windows 7/8 OS and everything from the monitor to peripherals.

    That isn't any sort of gaming machine, it's an atom based processor - suitable for office type stuff, but gaming would be a big no-no on it.

    Realistically you're not going to get any sort of new gaming machine including all accessories, windows and monitor for 400.

    Are you looking to play other games as well as Insurgency?

    It's a good deal a part from the outdated Intel processor that's in the bundle.

    **** that bull****.

    Far better CPU, twice the RAM, SSD, 1080p monitor (instead of 1600x900), and a graphics card that can actually play games. Add €10 for a copy of Windows.

    Where is this all from ?

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    Ya feckin legend :)

    I have a keyboard and mouse I can use with that. Now the Windows copy for €10 is that off them or somewhere else? Also whats the last item the ASUS?

    Just outta interest what games would that be able to play along with Insurgency? Take DayZ for example, are we talking low, mid, high etc? To get my bearings on it. Thanks :)

    The last one is a monitor from Asus. The windows is a copy from reddit I assume mate but I thought they were 20 euro on there.

    I don't own DayZ, and I can't find much benchmarks online, but the GTX 750 Ti (about 20% faster) manages 30FPS maxed out at 1080p.

    And Win7 Ultimate is $15 on Reddit, so about €10.

    They're MSN keys - given to devs for testing purposes - not technically supposed to be resold, but Microsoft doesn't seem to care too much. I've got a few different things from there, all working fine.

    Not legal. If you want to install illegal software you might as well save yourself the €15 spent on an illegal license and crack the OS yourself (sorry mods, I'm being cynical here. I'm not suggesting anyone do anything illegal)

    Or install the free Windows 10 Professional :)

    Lol I been waiting for someone to admit this for ages haha. I agree tho there is no difference in using cracked software or paying money for a key you shouldn't have.
