what exactly are you going to be using the computer for???

if your going for a gaming rig the first amd system for sure. The amd system has a far more powerful gpu which in 90% is going to be the bottleneck with a mid range cpu or up.
The amd phemon is a weaker cpu vs the core i7 but. In gaming cpu will only bottleneck in games like left 4 dead, prototype, gta IV, but even then. you might get like 100fps vs like 150. At this point additional fps aren't going to make much of a different in visuals.

But on the other hand if your going for more of productivity stuff, the the intel system for sure. While the phenom is competitive in gaming, it simply can't compare in productivity to a core i7

The power supply sounds like a real POS. Don't skimp there. Check the amperage not watts and aim for around 60+.

A 955 with ddr3 1333 would be fine.

Video card....... nvidia..... 1792 video memory would be fine. 896 cards are ok but lack in some games already. 5870 if you want to spend more. nvidia no DX11 yet. DX11 looks nice if you have the hardware to push it.....

I'd find a way to get the 5870 with the i7 processor. Better for more games and get higher minimum fPS in demanding games..... 8 thread.

Did you look into the i5 for alternatives ? I'm not that familiar with the performance of that. A waste of money for me to try now this late in the game.

i7= better processor
5870= better gpu

Is this a prebuilt? Are you limited to these configurations or would you consider other PC suggestions in whatever your price range is?

Well i want a good PC for both, gaming (run all the newest games without problems) and productivity stuff (Photoshop, sony vegas, rendering etc.)
I don't know much about PC's, so please, if you give me advices on what to buy then write me the full names of the products so i can ask for them
And those two pc complectations are already made in one online store ( both got one price ).
if there's a better pc complectation to spend the money for tell me!
i have no idea about which motherboard fits to what processor ;/ Help needed!!!
Also what you could advice me about network cards? do it matter to get a pricy one to get a bigger net speed? ( because now i should have download speed 10 Mb/s but i'm having only 1Mb/s)
