Hi all:
I've got two systems selected and cannot finalize my decision. I was hoping you all could give me some feedback.
Use: WoW
Desirable: 3D gaming
My Technical Ability: Zero
Please, although I appreciate all the advice such as "get the 2500k CPU", I'm only capable of buying a stock system. I would love a straight vote for system 1 or system 2. Both are almost the same price; system 1 costs more but is on sale for less than system 2.
