Which computer would you get?
decided to just buy from dell instead of building my own, both are the same price, looks like the only main difference is the processor? ones i7 and the other is 6 core. and the xps 7100 has 8gb while the 9000 has 6gb

new dell xps 7100

[http://configure.dell.com/dellstore/...tudio-xps-7100

vs

xps 9000 signature deal

http://configure.dell.com/dellstore/...=dhs&cs=cadhs1


thanks

would be cheaper to build yourself and you would have better hardware for the same price

Neither, you should go build your own. If I had to choose, I would go for the i7.

What are you using it for? That video card is shit. If you are only using office apps, you don't need that kind of processing power, you can find something cheaper that has onboard video.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
