Which best: i3 graphic card or i5 without

[botorosa]

Hi i want to buy a computer and i have two option:

- I5 - HP Compaq 8200 Elite USDT PC Intel Core i5-2400S CPU 2.50Hrz 2.50 Ghz
RAM:4GB
Hdd:250GB

- i3 ASUS Tower, Mobo Asus turboV express, Graphics card: Asus EAH5570 1GB RAM dedicated, HDMI and DVI. 4GB RAM, hdd 500gb


I will be using it for basic things but to view vodeos and edit photos and videos sometimes.

Your help is appreciated.

for your purposes I'd say that the computer with an i5 would be better.

Some better spec information would've been nice, but I would go with the i3 + dedicated graphics. It's a better overall power spread than the i5 machine. You can't have a powerful CPU and nothing to take advantage of it.

Yeah but if with that i3 you got an old gt 210 or something like that, the integrated graphics might as well be just the same, or maybe even better.

What's your budget?

Both this computers are selling 200 euros.

The i5 drawback is that is an old procesdor from 2011 and the computer box is very small if i want to add extra hardware cards hd etc...

The i3 in the other hand has a computer tower, with two dvd rw drives,ulti card reader, grafics card, plenty pc space to put in another hdd of extra hardware etc... I dont lnow the i3 type of processor.


My budget for the computer ix about 300 euros.

This is way better but probably also way over your budget

why get a Z87 with a locked multiplier processor?
