    What do want to use the machine for? For example, can you explain:

    one PC includes a monitor and the other doesn't - do you actaully want a monitor?
    one PC includes 8 GB of RAM - are you planning to do photo or video editing or something similar, else a lot of this is wasted

    similar for your other choices
  • dont need a monitor but been looking for a while now as mine is a 5yr old emachine.. just looking for a pc thats a bargain for the money and keep me goin for a few yrs more.. i do burn with nero which on my current machine is loud and it struggles to do that and surf the net have played a few games such as medal of honor but to be fair not for a while as i invested in a ps3

    think you're setting sights/spec/price too high...you can get a perfectly capable machine for around half that if you're not bothered about gaming and heavy photo/video work.....

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
