you could build a new pc for much the same price as the ones you have posted that would be much better. well here in nz anyway you could get a amd3600x2, 2gb ram 7900gs, dvd writter, 160gb hddfor the same price as x360

the 6600 in there is really old. It would struggle even with Half Life 2, and I'd hate to think how badly GRAW 2 would run on it.

Seriously, if you want to play GRAW or Rainbow Six, get an Xbox 360. Ubi's ports to anything outside of an Xbox have been epically bad lately. First it was starforce with Chaos Theory, and now with R6:Vegas, that game's only playable on an 8800 SLi. I'd hate to think of how bad it could be on the systems you're mentioning.

At least the 360 would get better with time, and more and more games now are able to support up to 1080p, which NONE of these systems would be able to run GRAW (much less its sequel) at.

are they all good from dell?

I've picked one but don't know if it's any better then the other ones:

Intel Core2 Duo E4400 Processor (2,00 GHz, 800 MHz, 2 MB cache)

Windows Vista Home Premium

2048 MB 667 MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM

320 GB Seriële ATA/100 harde schijf (7.200 rpm) met 16 MB DataBurstTM-cache

256MB ATI Radeon X1300 PCI Express grafische kaartor the nVidia 256 MB nVidiaTM GeForce 8600GT (60E more)

I think this is an good computer =) but I'm not sure if I can take this one, cause it's 700 and my parents will decide to pay the rest =P

i've found this one on an other site.

AMD Sempron 3400+ (1.8 GHZ)
1024 MB

The first one is pretty good, the second is a large pile of Fail. You'd need to get at least a 8600GT to play any modern games, though.

No, still much worse.

The X1300 may have DirectX 9.0c hardware, but it's so limited in pipelines that it wouldn't be able to run any modern game that would take advantage of those hardware features even at 640x480 resolution.

And the nVidia 6150 is an integrated GPU, and also older than the X1300, so neither of those are of any worthy alternative.

Where do you live? And just for perspective, are you talking about E as in the Euro? If so, you really are better off with a console at that price. A $400 USD computer is just not going to be able to run any game made within even the last three years acceptably, certainly not at the resolutions and settings modern consoles will be able to do. You'll be lucky to even run GRAW 2 at 640x480 on any of the systems you've listed so far; not without some serious additional cost. Hell, just for an 8800 or HD 2900 to be able to run modern games with a high enough resolution and graphical settings to be "better than a console," you're spending several magnitudes more, because the rest of the system would have to be outstanding in order to gain the most performance.
