Pre-built gaming rig

[slackbladders]

Hi all hope someone can assist.

The last few systems I have had I have built myself but this time I can't be bothered and would just like to get a pre-built system to suit my needs.

Budget is roughly £1k and main use will be gaming and HD movie playback.

I was thinking of either of the two below;-

I'm not too bothered whether going Nvidia/ATI for graphics, just whatever will have the best performance really. I should probably mention that I have a Benq 24" monitor and run games at 1920x1200.

I would also like to get Vista this time but I hear there are issues with Creative sound cards/EAX under Vista (I will salvage my old Audigy 2 ZS if possible) - is this still true?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers.

Just buy the bits is cheaper....

Then for 1k you can get a better spec.

Thats the better pc for you imo.

This one

Also i heard something about the Creative issue but i believe it was rectified due to public outcry (but not certain).
