well the differences between these 2 are the processors,graphics card and the hard disk . im really confused which to buy (im quite new to all these computer stuff).im a hardcore gamer who needs some advice :D
 
Build your own. It will be cheaper (for a comparatively same system) and you will be able to customize it more to your liking.
 
# 1 would be better at gaming but they are both going to be total crap once you raise any of the detail settings or resolution.

Like AnthraX said, if your gaming, build your.

Your still not going to be getting anything very game worthy for $450.

Is around $450 your buget because thats not going to buy you a gaming machine.

Give us a buget and we can recomend you components/specs.
 
well i cant really get to choose since im getting either of these from a 6500 connection promotion.
i dont got any budget either and i stay in singapore ...these cost alot more then they are in the u.s=/

Uh... so I can spec out a $12,000 machine? If there wasnt a budget limit then I'm sure you can do better than what you posted in post1 so there's gotta be a budget :) I cant give you meaningful help without it

is it one of those complete an offer and refer one million friends to do the same things? they almost never work. i've tried them all:o
 
everything is the same between the two, except the harddrive space and processor. do you want a faster processor and less harddrive space or a slower processor and more harddrive space? if i had to chose, i would also go with the first one.
 
I agree, go with the first one, the hard drive is easier to upgrade if you need to, but 80GB is enough for most people, at least for now.
