So im choosing a new computer, and my budget is £580(£600 if i must). Currently im looking at these two computers(one is from a different site, not sure if im allowed to link it)

With the win 7 64-bit OS and the most expensive graphics card, this comp is just under £600: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-210-OK

This one is £580, but im not sure about the graphics card or the processor:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2310 processor
Operating system: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Clock Frequency: 2.9 GHz
Memory size: 8 GB
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX550Ti DirectX®11 graphics card featuring 1,024 MB RAM

These are the two im choosing between, if anyone can tell me which is better id appreciate it. For the record building my own isnt something i want to do right now.

EDIT: Yeah i doubt the moderators would like me posting details on another sites computer, so ive removed the name, just leaving th specs now.

Well my budget is £600 at max, so i doubt it. I dont intend to play the latest games on high or anything, i can upgrade the graphics card next year if needed. The only game ill be playing for now is world of warcraft anyway.

The Titan Xenomorph one you posted is £540 with that card, but it doesnt include an OS, which would be annoying. With the standard GT 430 and win7 its £550, would that be better than the other two?
 
 
Building my own would mean no warranty, and i have no idea how to repair my own computer, or which parts would need replacing. Having a ready-built computer seems easier, and i can just upgrade the parts as needed in the future.

As above, they all have seperate warranties and are unlikely to break or be faulty unless your unlucky within at LEAST the first year.
 
True, but if it does break i will have no idea how to fix it, which means id need to pay for repairs.

What you guys are saying does make sense, building my own would probably be better than buying a worse computer with 1 year warranty. Also i have no idea how to put together a computer, if i messed up, i would be screwed.

For the sake of asking, would the build Socrates470BC suggested be better than...

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2310 processor
Operating system: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Clock Frequency: 2.9 GHz
Memory size: 8 GB
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX550Ti DirectX®11 graphics card featuring 1,024 MB RAM

That one?

Could both of those run WoW on ultra, or witcher 2 on high? I only ask as my old computer couldnt run the witcher 2 menu with freezing.
