    Dunno which system to choose

    well, im getting the parts for my new computer at Christmas and my birthday and I aint sure which of the 2 i want. its a gaming build btw and here they are:

    System 1
    AMD 64 3000 soc 939 - £102
    Asus A8N-SLi (Standard) Socket 939 nForce 4 - £108
    128Mb Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/1960PCX 6600GT (PCI-Express) XP Golden Sample GLH - £180
    GeIl PC 3200 DDR400 Value 2x512mb - £117
    200Gb Seagate Barracuda (7200rpm,8MB) - SATA - £84
    NEC 3500A Black x16 DUAL LAYER DVD-Writer, OEM UK - £46
    480W Tagan Whisper quiet 21db Also support 12v EPS/SATA/XEON 3 Years Warranty ATX/BTX - £64
    Thermaltake Tsunami Black with window - £82

    total - £783

    System 2
    AMD 64 3000 soc 939 - £102
    Asus A8N-SLi (Standard) Socket 939 nForce 4 - £108
    GeIl PC 3200 DDR400 Value 2x512mb - £117
    NEC 3500A Black x16 DUAL LAYER DVD-Writer, OEM UK - £46
    480W Tagan Whisper quiet 21db Also support 12v EPS/SATA/XEON 3 Years Warranty ATX/BTX - £64

    Casetek 1018BM Black Metal Case (no PSU) - £46

    total - £806

    Which system should I go for, my budget was around £800 and also should I change any components, i could prolly get away with a couple of pounds over budget etc

    thx
    oh btw, if you're wondering where I got my stuff from, its a combination of www.scan.co.uk
    www.overclockers.co.uk for the memory
    www.xcase.co.uk for the thermaltake case

    treat urself there isnt that much difference between the prices also bear in mind that the geil might be cheap at microdirect! (dual channel!)

    also check microdirect for their harddrives (maxtor 10 sata!)

    anyway good spec and decnt prices, just hope you already have a monitor!
