Why?? 8120/HD7850/ASRock 970 EXT3 for $400, with $150 left for ram/psu etc it will leave that a8 so far behind you won't be able to see it..

BTW win8 SUCKS, installed the rc early no problem it sucked, try the release version would NOT install wanted a "cd rom driver" ok "no drivers found" ever.. anywhere.. for anything. Finally with the most ridiculous tricks manipulations and a hammer I got running as a virtual machine.. Verdict.. it STILL SUCKS result.. DELETE..

"also windows 8 isnt so bad. u shouldnt bash windows 8 like that without concrete proof."

I can bash win8 all I like from EXPERIENCE, I've been using windows since v3.1 Over 20 years of experience is "proof" enough.

 

[iceclock]

nope, since windows 8 is stable and decent, and its unprofessional to bash something without proof. been using apples2 and 386s and got 25 years of experience mate

 

[scottfree1]

A modern os that REFUSES TO INSTALL, I can take a copy of win8 RIGHT NOW and it WILL NOT INSTALL. Win7, vista, linux, xp. win 3.1 even OSX Hand me a copy and a with ZERO hassle I will have them running (ok OSX requires hoops but I've had it running) And when you do get it running trying to recover BASIC FUNTIONALLITY the microsoft has REMOVED. But your "hey win8 aint that bad" certainly is a a ringing endorsement.. btw bfd I had an apple IIe also not impressed..

 

[iceclock]

good for u, still u havent proved why it blows.

bring some concrete proof mate, before pointing fingers.
