Buying a prebuilt PC.

I'm buying a new gaming computer for age of conan and some of the new games that are coming out and I want to get it from a local store, so here are a few choices that I picked out. Tell me what you think. http://shop1.frys.com/product/5543200;jse..

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?s..

Which one do you think is the best? If you have any good deals (that don't involve building a PC) that I can buy locally, tell me. Also I need to know if this computer would last for a couple of years. I have a $1200 budget. Thanks.

#4 the memory is decent and the performance difference is hardly noticeable

:D|D:

its a great setup...but i wouldnt buy it b/c it comes with vista and i guarantee you that computer has 0 XP driver support. So you have great hardware stuck with a SHTTY OS.

#6 windows vista is fine and it comes with sp1

I would stick to the xps from bestbuy, seems like a pretty solid deal for a prebuilt.

mmK

Bestbuy, but honestly build it yourself and save some cash.
