    What are your opinions on secondhand cpu's? Are they worthwhile? Its just i know a computershop that sells secondhand cpu's and it works out about £20-£30 cheaper and they come with 12month warrenty.

    Personally I wouldn't go that route, you never know what the person who had the processor before you did to it. Even if the processor still runs, is it running at it's peak performance w/o errors, crashes, etc. Especially with so many ocng processors now adays and the fact that used processors usually are not that much less than brand new.

    If that's the only difference, I'd buy new. Spend the few extra notes and save yourself the headaches.
