In Pictures: Best Desktop PCs Under $750

4. Prebuilt Value PC: Compaq Presario SR5350F
Like the preceding $680 eMachines T5246, the Presario SR5350F is a prebuilt retail system available in only one configuration, so you can't select different components before you buy it. The package includes a 19-inch LCD and a sizable 360GB hard drive, and it delivers good performance for basic, everyday needs. It scored 71 in WorldBench 6, just behind the Dell Inspiron 530, which uses the same Intel Pentium dual-core E2160 CPU. All in all, Compaq's Presario SR5350F is a good-performing system with plenty of storage space, but you may want to add a discrete graphics card after you get it home.
