New PC Advice

[Expandead]

Hey,

I'm planning on getting a new PC. Mainly a PC which is good for gaming.

I've been looking at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-041-OK&groupid=43&catid=967&subcat= and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-043-OK&groupid=43&catid=966&subcat=

My budget is around 700-800, just wondering if I'm straying towards the right direction or if I should consider some other options.

Cheers,
Jonny

The C2D would be straying towards the right direction

With that budget, do you need peripherals, a monitor, etc?

A little something to consider.

^ I'd get a bigger HD, and remove Vista for XP Home OEM...much cheaper and it'll do till Vista bugs are sorted out.

He'd need XP-64 if he wanted to address all of the RAM. That HDD is the fastest 7200.10 available. I chose it for a reason.

If you want a larger HDD the one to get is the 500 GB Western Digital AAKS.
