The second pc is cheaper but looks ok, the motherboard on the second pc is very very good £145 ! and comes with 2 graphic cards !

What do you think??

Im unsure!

Just looking over the specs quickly, I would go for option 2. However, if you are going for the good motherboard because you want to overclock it, the RAM in option 1 is much better and very very likely overclock alot better than the RAM in option 2. In my experience, Elixir ram doesnt overclock that well.

On a lesser note, I would also upgrade the cooler in option 2 to a scythe ninja or something similar, and may consider trying to swap the 530watt PSU for the 600watt OCZ PSU mentioned in option 1 (I just like OC PSUs ;)).

i will be using the pc for overclocking and games like Battlefield 2

I'm with Aaron on this

if you are going to overclock you need better memory

[Micky007]

but the second pc spec is a built aria pc, and the first is just all the components.

So should i go for number 1 or 2?

Also would i be able to change the memory even if its a built pc from aria if i pay more for it?

[Micky007]

but also spec 1 has better stuff.

If you go through Telesales they will be able to arrange the customisations for you

ok great thanks !

[Micky007]

Infact decided to stick with pc spec 1.

but might change the graphics card to a better one or get 2 dual ones.

[Firerat]

OK teh second is better because of the Dual Graphics

However, the first has GFX DDR4

Does SLI really make that much of a difference?
Pesonaly I know Jack S about graphics cards these days
I have a Club3dD X300 256MB PCI-E, it puts pictures and words up on my monitor

You CPU will probably have plenty left in it to make up for the lack of SLI
( I think I read that somewhere on here, one of the First Conroe threads )

I think it was <protecting the innocent> who wote it , but this was like Months ago,

I was wrong last time I said some one wrote something ;)

Edit: I have no Idea who wrote it, can't find it,

Who pays this much for a graphics card? I've built entire PCs for less!

ME !

It was the free game that tipped it wasn't it :)

[Micky007]

Yep, that was the icing on the cake lol !

Another question:

Do you think i can compact all this into a Barebone case?

If so which case/system would you recommend i go for

[Micky007]

infact forget that, the issue then is cooling everything down.
