Need help deciding between these two computers..

[ohdaym]

Hey guys, i just sold me old comp for 900 bucks, and i found the EXACT same one online for 700
But i also found a diy combo on newegg.com that looks really nice, but deciding between the two is kinda getting to me, what would be the better computer?

the diy combo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.591935
My PC:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220051&cm_re=gtx_260-_-83-220-051-_-Product

Thanks for any help!~

Hello ohdaym;
The ASUS Essentio Core i7 920 is a refurb model with a GTX 260. It just doesnt say what model of GTX 260. The 216 core model would be best. It still is just on par with a HD 5770.

The NewEgg combo deal with the HD 6850 video card and is the best option for gaming

yeah, the gtx 260 is 216 cores as its the same computer i just sold, but i am a gamer, and i would like the experience of building a pc, so i'm assuming the best option would be the second

That 2nd option has a few areas that can be tweaked if you want.
Have you read the forum guide on how to build a system yourself?
