Hey, this is my first time on these forums and I am in need of a little assistance. I managed to save up enough money from my job and I am looking to buy a nice gaming desktop for a cheap price. The games I play are not too graphic intensive (WoW, Starcraft 2, League of Legends, etc..) so I am not looking for top of the notch stuff.

I only have between $600-$800 to spend so I am looking for something cheap.

I was looking around on newegg.com and I found these two comps.

and

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229181

What do you guys think? I believe they are both good enough to play the games I listed but are they worth the price tag? Which one would you guys prefer? And finally if anyone wants, would they be able to link me to something better on newegg in my price range if the two computer above don't cut it.

Due to bad experiences in the past, building my own computer is not an option so please don't recommend it.

Thanks to anyone who posts their opinions!
 
Of the two the Cyberpower is going to be the better gaming platform. The processor is faster and the 9800 GT is a better GPU than the Radeon 4350.
 
I you price it out you could build an equivalent system for around $100 less, so, if you're unable to build, I guess it's worth it. The problem I see with most prebuilts is cheap power supplies and weak or outdated graphics cards.

A 9800 GT costs about $90 and scores 916 in PassMark G3D Mark, (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html). For another $110 the GTX 460 scores 2278, and would be a much better match for the Phenom 955.

So, if you built it, (which I know you said isn't an option ), you could use a decent 550-650W power supply and a GTX 460, which would probably double your frame rates, and still stay close to $800
