Which one?

I am siding with the Phenom II x4 965, I just got my 955 and am loving it :) So I vote AMD AM3 965 DDR3 WIN 7 PC 1TB 4GB GT220 1GB CHT with windows 7 but I have alot of compatability issues with older games on this O.S. It is fixable but they still arise.
 
Neither are gaming PC's. There are 3 parts in particular your should be looking at for a gaming PC - CPU, GPU and PSU

CPU, the AMD build is better, quad core and higher clocked, dual for gaming now, even an i3, isn't so good. In Crysis it would be fine though as Crysis is only coded for 2 cores

GPU, both are awful, integrated graphics (like the i3 build), or a very low end graphics card (like the GT220) aren't meant for gaming, they are meant for watching videos and old gaming, and that is it.

PSU, neither have 1 listed, so you can bet, quite safely, that both are using very low end units

You said pr built or custom, do you mean you would be willing to build it, or you don't mind if it is a custom built system that someone else put together and was selling?

Also, what part of the UK are you in, can save on shipping by picking a store closer to you (if there are any decent ones near by)

I would be willing to build it myself and I don't mind if someone else put a good system together as long as they can post it.

I have looked and there are no good PC shops where I live.

Will I need a CPU cooling fan or is one included?
Do I need a soundcard?
Thanks :)

Would any of these be better graphic cards?
