Hi and welcome

I guessing these builds are not from OCUK so you need to remove the prices, it is against forum rules.

What will you be using the computer for, gaming , video editing ect?

Would you be open to self building?

 

[Doomedspeed]

Theres a lot of things wrong with those builds,

Firstly, intel is the way to go, as the 6100 is poor and only the 8350 can stand up to the 3570k.. You will see no benefit atall of the i7 over the i5, in gaming terms.

The Cases are of Poor quality and why did they put in Vengeance RAM and a Heatsink, as they normally collide.

You can build a lot better for your money.

Unless your doing video editing you wont use 8gb or RAM let alone 16GB..

Sorry. I'll remove them now. All purpose really. I'm a game design student.
