New computer help

Regarding the CPU, the E8400 benchmarks at  2178 and the i3-540 @ 2708 so the E8400 will be about 20% slower.

Thanks for that
Even I am starting to loose the will to live -----------its turning into a noggy "what bike shall I get"

the 8000 is coming in at £40-£50 cheaper

Now started to look at Dell OptiPlex 790 Small Form Factor i3 3.3GHz 8gb ram anyone have any view on that machine
