what is your budget, monitors resolution, the type games you play?

Gamer Vantage uses Core2Duo so that is what I'd be going for, although I'd change a fair few things and build it myself. If you aren't confident doing that then customise it but it really isn't that hard to do.

Agreed. I was pretty worried about building for the first time earlier this year. Piece of **** though. Follow the motherboard / cpu manual and its plain sailing.

The advantage of building it yourself is simple, you learn a lot (so you can rant more on here

), and when something goes wrong you don't spend days or even weeks without a computer while you rma stuff. You can isolate the problem and solve it while the box is still on your desk.

For £750 you can build a machine that can play those games quite happily.
