ok a question for you Iceclock

Would this build that you recommended for me be better or this one

--- HP Pavilion P6000 Series

--- AMD Athlon II 630 X4 Quad Core Processor (2.8 Ghz per core)

--- 20 GB DDR3 RAM (Patriot Gaming Series)

--- 1 TB Hard Drive (Western Digital Black)

--- VIDEO CARD: ATI Radeon HD 4850 1GB Dedicated

--- 20X DUAL LAYER DVD BURNER

--- 500 Watts Power Supply

On the experience index the scores are

Processor 7.2
Memory(Ram) 7.2
Graphics 7.3
Gaming Graphics 7.3
Primary Hard Disk 5.9

for $430

I know you guys are the experts so just wanted to know if it would be a better deal to buy that or to build that one?
Please and Thank you!!

Anything Is better than what I have now This computer can't even handle Farmville2 on facebook

CPU
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
Lima 65nm Technology
RAM
2.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 184MHz (4-4-4-15)
Motherboard
ELITEGROUP MCP61SM-GM (Socket AM2 ) 56 °C
Graphics
Panasonic-TV (1360x768@60Hz)
128MB GeForce 6100 nForce 405 (Elitegroup)
Hard Drives
233GB Seagate ST325031 0AS SCSI Disk Device (ATA)

I've called places and they all tell me their are no available upgrades for this computer lol So that's why I need/Want a new one

But thank you Iceclock for all the help I'm still new to this but I'm hoping to become decently great at building them I decided to build my own cause I started looking around on Craigslist at all the custom built computers from people and shops and looking up the parts and they would be discontinued parts so that just made me not want it. I want something more decently up to date that will last alot longer having to buy minor things like a bigger better hdd.
Is there anything else I'm gonna have to buy like thermal paste for the cpu or anything you can think of?

Yea I'll probably need help actually putting it together for the first time I can put everything together only problem will probably be where to put the power button chord and the usb chord from the front Never had to actually mess with those.
