You don't want to be doing gaming on either. The second one has a better graphics card but still not really for gaming at all.

The second one will play all of those games just fine. they are not very demanding games at all, and I know for sure that you can max combat arms on a 8400m GT @ 1440*900 resolution. Will run medium at 1366*768 on a HD4200 IPU.

You would be best building your own if possible,The second one is better like mentioned...But it does not state what power supply those systems have so i can only assume they are really crap ones.

Also after 30 days you will need to buy a license for Windows as they are only trials so that's another $99 you will have to spend.

Well... Since you've posted basically the same question 3+ times and are taking no consideration of getting even one separate part for your computer, the most effective thing to do is to say that the second one is the better one, and you will be more happy with it over the first one. However, I really think you should consider some of the other things people have recommended on your other threads. Seriously. Installing a graphics card in a computer isn't hard at all, and you will be a lot happier if you just get the other one with the i3 and do that. But hey, it's your money - I don't want to force you or make you feel bad or anything :p.

Can't really do much with $450 in terms of gaming. If the price gets bumped up about $20-$30, your computer (for Combat Arms and LoL) should be fine.

Like I said, this won't be amazing but it's $475ish and it'll get the job done - it's also quite a bit better than the GT 630 and HD6530. However IMHO, you should get this PSU for thoughts of future upgrades.

If you get the 600 watt, this computer should be an okay start. Eventually you'll be able to get an i5 or an i7 and a better graphics card instead of rebuilding your whole system.

EDIT: Some of the things in the computers you linked (More ram, TB hdd, quad core...) can be purchased if you can allow more than $450. If you wanted one for $450, why did you link a $620 computer?

Ok since everyone says to build one, can someone please find me a build for $450 US ;D

Weren't you looking at $600 computers though? I mean, give us $600 budget, and you'll get a fair system, a hell of a lot better than the ones you linked too.

Just saying, shop right and you can get some sweet deals. Black Friday is coming up. Best wait for that ;)

I assumed he lived in the US since he said he wanted the computer for $450 USD. My bad.

Oh sorry bout that, my bad then.
Considering you, and others, thought that it was not worth $600 as you may have thought it was USD, do you think the first link is worth 600 NZ? (440 USD) ?

It's not that great of a CPU, but it's quad core, so it'll be fine for your use. I would say to buy it and find another graphics card for $70ish, but I don't know what kind of power supply this computer has. Even if it has say a 500 watt (which I'm almost sure it only has 250-350 considering the specs) and you buy a $70 card, that's $510 for the computer. Not that it's a ripoff, but you could still find something with a considerable amount of power at that price. Realistically, that would be $510 plus a new psu making it say $560, and someone also said you only get a 30 day trial of Windows, which makes it at least $660. For $660, you can put together a MUCH more powerful computer.
