I want to play games at 1080p on medium to high settings hopefully at over 45fps (saints row 3, borderlands 2)

The first build will play games very well. I built a very similar build on PC Part Picker and you would save about $50, but you get half the storage and no warranty. Its really up to you as to which route to take. Here is the build.

Hi, thanks for that. I'll stick with the one I chose as it is prebuilt as I'm not building it.

No problem. That's a screaming deal especially for down there. Normally prices are ridiculous, but that isn't too bad.
