well first off i am in need new computer. i don't know much about the insides of computers. i would like to be able play games when i want to

yes i know building a pc will save some money for even better stuff. but i think i rather pay little more to prevent headaches and messing something worth quite bit up

or

well what you think? will it do? could i get better for my buck? should i go into one of these to change something?

P.S i did the screenshot because gamespot wasn't liking when i copy&paste it. kept saying tag spam

again i pick no 1 over 2.. it has a gt430.. a 430 is garbadge for gaming might as well swap it for a toaster itd probably pay games better.

and the 1st one could play any game you wanted on high.. now and into the forseeable future.

The GPU in both is poor. I would get nothing lower than a 6870 if you want to play any game that you buy @ 1080p on High. The first system should also have a 955 at minimum and a quality PSU, not a $15 one.

dont use SSD's for hard drive's there a waste of time n money. if your on a budget and they just arent large.. sure your startup time is lessened but it will already be small due to you using windows 7. also slag the 8gb ram drop it down to 6 or 4gb.. no reason for 8 what so ever.

id then use the saved money to get a better gpu like an hd 5770.. itd be from visiontek too so lifetime warranty = win :D (they dont get parts from diamond)
