First Gaming Computer Buy

jepetto · 03-23-2008, 05:07 PM

Hi I'm currently looking to buy a decent gaming computer, looking for dual processor, 2GB ram and an 8000 series card. I don't need an OS or moniter and my budget is £350 approx $700 USD.

So far I have looked at these two models.

I was wondering whether they are good value or whether building one myself would be cheaper ,thanks.

Perfect... I'd screw the cooler and get a better CPU.
