Hi guys, i want a pc that can play games and occasionally do some 3D modeling work. i can't decide what to do i have been looking at two options

option 1 : http://h40059.www4.hp.com/uk/homedesktops/product.php?id=LL284EA&experience=direct

option 2 : i use an online builder and get the following specs:

AMD phenom II x4 955 black edition

4-8gb of RAM

MOBO : ASUS M4A87TD

1gb ATI RADEON HD5450

500-1tb HDD

450w PSU

Windows 7

Total cost with 8gb RAM - around £600


Would i be better going for option 2 as opposed to option 1 ? - Would i benefit greatly from having the AMD Phenom II X6 & ATI Radeon HD 6570 (2 GB) over the extra 2gb or RAM? The HP pc looks worth it at £600 but i would like a second opinion on this thanks
