im about to buy my first comp!
there´s just one thing- i dont know anything about pentiums,processor,dual here and quad there.
so yeah I need some help. I have a budget of around 800( +/- 50€) €
some requirements:
- it must be able to play sc2 at mid graph
- an auto cad programme for school
- longevity- I want to be able to use it for like 5 years or more
- stock comp-as Im too much of a nuub to build one
any recommendations?

CPU: Intel i5-2500(k) or i7-2600(k) the k is optional, doesn't really matter for u
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 560 Ti or GTX 570
RAM: 4-8 GB
And propose ur comp here before u buy it. So we can give u hints

The graphics is not good, it is a 550TI instead of 560 Ti
also the CPU could be a bit better though it would be ok. THat's the problem with stock computers. U seldom find the right one, because manufactures cut corners and people even buy that stuff.
A cpu 2300 and 2550k is 30 Euros apart and 55TI and 560 Ti by about 100 euro apart.
If u don't find auch comp then u have to buy a cheaper one but don't expect that u can make it through 5 years performancewise.

If u can get the 560 TI it is perfect.
the difference between 550ti and 560ti is a great one
see

550 TI SLI means two 550 TI so u should just look at the 550 TI green bar compared to 560 TI
