If anyone could help it would be really apereciated thx

The first one is slightly better. Although you can get better performance building your own pc for much cheaper than that price.

thanks dagger , i was thinking about building but to be honest i think i would i make a mess of it

Building isn't really that hard and if you have any problems just come here and we'll help you. Building yourself definitely would save you a wad of cash too.

top one is very nice. its price is very fair too.

Cheech...you can build a PC. It's not a bad deal and in my opinion, it is fun to do.

Just read around here, ask for help if you need it, but you can totally do it.

Top one is better than bottom, but I wouldn't call either fair. Current exchange rate is 2 dollars to 1 pound. The £1450 price tag that OP cited would be nearly $3k. It's overpriced.

I'm not sure about the British money but that looks like a pretty fair deal. Its overclocked way more than someone who was doing their first build would do. The only thing I would change would be a GTX 280 over the 9800GX2 but both should be very powerful.

£1106.98, where did you get 1450 euro?

It's from OP's post. And it's pound, not euro.

Right on, that's a bad price.

Wow, the sign for euro and pound are very alike. I notice the difference now.

building your own vs buying has always been a debate. of course coming to a message board like this will obviously get you answers that support building.

i vote for both. if you have money and want to let someone else put your system together, stress test it for you and do all the dirty work, then by all means go buy a pc from a company.

if you like getting dirty, while knowing 100% of what youre puting in there, saving cash and having fun building it yourself, then build.

to each his own.

well thanks alot for your help guys can you tell me why you all think the top one is better what parts make it that little bit better ?? i really would like to build but i really do not trust myself, cause i know zero about bios and stuff i think i could put all the parts in but getting them to work would be tricky what i will prob do is take a list down of all the parts and see how much they will all come to.

Yeah i decided to go for the GX2 cause it was the best one i knew off just cause in a mag it was the only singel card to run crysis at a decent fps is the GTX 280 alot better ??

The GX2 and 280GTX are amazing but they are crazy expensive. Also state your budget.

well probly wanna spend £1500
