yes the only intention for the computer is gaming :) also i know that the thing i posted probably contains alot of pointless information but since i dont know sh** about computers and alot of the guys here have even built theyre own computers i thought this was the place to ask

Second one is better imo although I must confess that I am not a fan of either.

Both of them are lacking in the processor dept...graphics are bad too. If you intend to game, I can build you one with newegg parts for cheaper and you can learn to put them together yourself! It's really not that hard to do!

The first rig would be more suitable for a gaming computer.

Upgrading to 4GB of RAM would be a better first upgrade to that rig. You can put the HD4770 on a suicide run overclock while you save up for a newer card.

I agree with what most people said though. Building your own PC from scratch would be a superior idea.
