The Core 2 Duo processors are good, but they are old. If you want to stay on Intel, a Core i3 processor should be fine. It is a strong dual core processor... Search for a pc with it.

Also Intel Core i5 CPUs are good processors (quad core), but they're a waste if you don't run any type of game or demanding applications.

In my opinion, search for a pc with a 3rd generation Core i3 processor, maybe without graphics card... Then when you have your new pc, install on it your GeForce GT 630 :)

Is the HP P7 good in your opinion or a Dell optiplex 390

please can you give me the model number of these computers?

HP pavillion p7-1510

Lenovo IdeaCentre H430

Dell Inspiron i660s-5385BK

is there any other computer you would recommend with the intel i3 processor

HP Pavilion p7-1510 Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Support

The HP pavillion p7-1510 has got the Intel Core i3 3220 processor, which is a dual core processor with 4 threads... It is the best dual core in the market I think.
It has integrated graphics, so you can put on it your GT 630 without any issue.

It has got 8 GB DDR3 RAM...
I think it's a good pc :)

I am returning my graphics card to amazon and the ram. So do you think the i3 is good enough to last me a while or should I get the i5 just in case microsoft comes out with windows 9 or something down the road.

How about this one? It has windows 7 home premium. It's i5.

If you aren't going to play games or to run heavy applications, a core i3 will be enough. If you want morwe power, then go for an i5.
In my opinion, go for an i3 and save money for buying a new graphics card or an SSD, which will drammatically speed up tour pc.

To be honest I don't think I will get an SSD unless I have to. I don't like them because they are more money, less space and don't last as long as HDD. But don't you think the graphics card in a brand new PC will be good enough? Just curious.
