    Needs some gamer know how

    I'd like to buy a gaming PC and I'm currently looking at these 2 specs- which, if you had the choice would you get

    Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q9450 Processor (2.66GHz ,12MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz)
    Coolermaster Aluminium ATX Midi Tower + 550W PSU
    8GB DDR2 800MHz Memory (4 x 2GB)
    1000GB Hard Drive - SATA 2 with 32MB buffer
    512MB nVIDIA 9800GTX Graphics-DX10
    24" Widescreen LCD TFT Digital Display with internal speakers (DVI, 8ms)
    Blu-ray ROM Player / Dual Layer DVD Writer
    £1200 - $2,348.83

    OR

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 CPU @ 3.0GHz 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache 64-bit
    CoolerMaster Centurion 590 Black Case
    4GB (2x2GB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
    Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
    ATI Radeon HD 3870X2 PCI-E x16 1GB Video Card
    SM245B 24" Wide 5ms TFT LCD Display Monitor
    DUAL FORMAT 20X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE DUAL LAYER
    £1163 - $2,276.40

    Both would have onboard sound as I'd only use with headphones (my MAC taking care of video/music etc)

    Or if you know of a better spec at around these prices please feel free to put forward your personal choices

    any advice would be appreciated

    Why don't you just custom build your PC? Most of the time it's cheaper and you get the most of what you want out of your computer.

    If you go for packages then pick the first. More RAM is better.
