Need advice. |

Hello, I was wondering what your opinions were on this PC
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1619162917.1185746054@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccfeaddlijkhhjdcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&sku=387563
It's very advertised here and is a very good price from what I can see. Quad Core, 2GB Ram, 320GB harddrive.
What I am a bit concerned with is the graphics card, 8300GS. I am wondering if this is any better or worse than my current 7600GS.
Here is my current system:
AMD 64 3000+
1.5GB Ram
7600GS (AGP)
Would that system be any better than what I have now. (WITH THAT GRAPHICS CARD)
I can't see any writeups on the 8300GS and I am not expecting it to be the best but is it any better than what I have now?
Many thanks if someone can help me.

The 8300GS is really not for gaming, it's considered the OEM for entry level markets. Your 7600GS is definitely better, but you probably won't be able to use that card since it's AGP, and the computer only has PCI-E. (Actually it says PCI, it doesn't specify PCI-E, so I want to find out for sure) If you are looking for a cheap video card 7600GT's can be found for under $100 US.
