Quoting what processor a computer have doesnt give any indication of what the machine is like overall. A point manufacturer's like Dell exploit to the expense of layman's. They just stick i7 and a huge price tag on it and let people think its mustard.
What about the motherboard, the speed of the ram, cache, the graphics card etc. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link!
Doesnt matter if you've got a liquid nitrogen cooled, superconductor processor if it's linked to piece of @*!# components!
Well said. It is so easy to build your own PC if you have a good quality motherboard and good instruction book. Would never buy an off the shelf PC again, would always build my own
