    IMHO, the only reason you would get a AIO is for the "shiny showoff" value,
    Or your space on your desk was at a premium ..

    Other than that, a desktop wins in every respect ..

    if you are playing the newer Football managers, ie 2014/2015, then dont go for onboard graphics, it will struggle.

    i have a laptop i sometimes play it on, it has an Intel HD4000 and nvidia 650. If i run it on the intel, the matches stutter so bad its pretty much unwatchable. Runs fine when running it on the 650 thou

    1tb HDD
    GT620 1GB GFX
    4x USB 3.0

    I've got an all in one - I made the concious decision though that I could cope with the slight performance hit (and I tend to replace computers rather than upgrade components anyway) to make up for less desk wiring clutter.

    It runs fine - the one thing that annoys me on it is with it sat on my desk I can't easily adjust the screen angle to cut out glare or anything like I could with a normal monitor - which wasn't something I anticipated.
