my current pc is slowly dieing, well its more or less kicked the metaphorical bucket, so i'm looking for a new system to replace it for around the £500 mark, i know that the systems i've linked are a bit below that.
what i would like to know is if the systems are good value for money, and if possible any other links to other systems for the same price ☺

Go for the first option.

The first one

The HP will suck

the second one is a a good system , but not as good as the first and doesnt appear to have a discrete graphics card .

Only other question is do they come with operating systems? The HP will

The two from overclockers don't come with an OS but I can get windows 7 unltimate 64 bit for £66 from them.

 

[CliveBear]

Silly me not ultimate, I meant to say home premium.....thought £66 sounded to cheap for ultimate as I typed it haha

 

[Outlander_04]

I would get Home premium 64 bit

Ultimate adds some services that you probably dont need .

 

[CliveBear]

Ahh thanks for the info
Also I've already got a HD5770 frOm my current PC so does that make the first system any more attractive?

I think the amd based system is better. The i3 based ones are all obsolete nehalem i3s not the newer sandy bridge ones. Also the amd system comes without gpu so you can use your existing one.
