Comp advice for a foreign friend

I have a friend in Denmark who wants advice on premade PCs. She has very little PC knowledge so building one herself is out of the question, and she lives in Denmark so I can't make her one myself.

I think it's OK to link to this as it's a Danish shop (if not I'll delete):

She's looking at the top two comps there. Are they decent value for money? I'm not up on current hardware so I don't know. 4,295kr is about £517. What could you get for that price over here?

Cheers.

Spec:
Intel Dual Core E5200 2.50GHz 2MB S-775
ASUS P5KPL-AM/SE Intel G31 S-775
2GB DDR2 PC6400 800MHz 1.Part
512MB Inno3D GeF 9800GT DDR3 PCI-E
250GB Maxtor 7200rpm SATA2
NZXT Apollo Steel Sort u/PSU
650W Energon EPS-650 120mm
Standard Intel Køler
48x16x Lite-On DVD Sort PATA

That's pretty nasty for 520 quid. A very quick look at ocuk puts an equivalent/marginally better machine at 400, and I thought the euro to sterling rate sucked. Does she want to play games on it?

Agreed, that is pretty poor for the money...

yes but what you are looking at is parts to build the machine your self you have to llok at pre-made ones over here to get a comparison
