If you do grab an cooler for the i7, you can OC it to 4.2ghz, but something more for the future

I would take the second one as it has a stronger gpu and cpu

Best is to DIY yourself, next is select parts on site and have them build for you (almost same price as DIY, just add the building cost usually). third is prebuilts you can customize and last is non-customizable prebuilts [are occasional good ones though]

Over here in Canada, a retailer called NCIX will build systems using any parts you pick out (as long as compatible) for $50 which is a pretty sweet deal if you don't have the time. Dunno about anyone that does that in UK though

If you can't though I would take the second build

These are the two places i came across, If you were to get one of these you would recommend the 2nd one? And if you were to change anything have you got any ideas? Thanks
