Default Help me buy a games machine!!

Hey all, im sure you're all probally fed up with me asking for your oppinions on various desktops but after everything i still cant decide between them. Im looking for a computer used for gaming, i want it to run vista easily as well as running new games on max settings.

I have a budget of around £1000, but i dont mind going a little over. Currenly i have £500.

I dont know much about computers but i would preferably like a quad core, at least 2GB RAM, Over 320GB Hard Drive, a nVidia gForce 8800GTX 768Mb graphics card.
A monitor isint absoloutly needed because i can buy that later but obviously i would prefer to have one, ideal size would be 22".

This is what i have currently considering:

MESH Elite Quad Express.
http://www.meshcomputers.com/Default...UCT&KEY=221594
(But upgrading the graphics card to the 8800GTX) This would probally be my favourite but because of there dodgy customer support im less inclined to buy from them, however do you know if they have improved this, would you buy from them?

Fenestra Elite 6000 form Novatech.
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/pcrange.html?NEL
(On the right)
With Novatech i dont need to pay VAT, so the Ex VAT price is what to look at. However this desktop isint as powerful as the others and doesnt include a monitor or speakers.

Also iBuyPower seems very attractive but i dont think it delivers to the UK only USA and Canada

What would you buy on my budget, if there are any other good sites that can build me a PC for my budget please tell me. Also i dont want to build it myself, to much hassle.

Please Help, Thanks!

The first computer is great, only con i can see is that it needs a better graphic card, and the vat you have to pay
