Hi all, I'm currently looking to buy a new gaming pc for around £600. I'll be using it mainly for games like Skyrim, so I'm aware that I'll need a decent CPU in addition to a good graphics card. With that in mind, I've narrowed it down to 3 options but as I'm new to all this, I don't know which one will play the games better so I'd appreciate it if you guys could help me decide.
