Yup, cisco gave you two good builds for what you need. The next step is choosing and building and you're ready to go! Of course you can do a little bit more research into why each item Cisco chose for you for example, "Why did he choose a Pentium/AMD instead of the now more popular i5 or i7 that you've been seeing around lately"

Well the Pentium/AMD are older processors holding only two cores. That can handle the amount of load you need to put on them. For browsing the internet and downloading videos and movies, not much load is put on the cpu in general, allowing for a cheaper build with two cores instead of four. While this may be obvious to a few members around the forums, it is not always to others so that is my advice.

Do some research! I think it's the best part of building :) Have fun!
 
Yea I will have a good look into it thank you lol its like reading Egyptian to me but allways wanted to build a system my self
 
You'll get there! Just read around the forums for all the parts. Do some research for motherboards in the motherboard forum and so on for each part. Then google and compare, it'll make a lot more sense to you I promise.
