Any and ALL help would be great!

Also are any of these a good deal for the said price? want to keep atleast 300$ for others stuff (World of warcraft, WoW: Burning Crusade, World of Warcraft Warth of Lich King. and idk what else atm). If no to all the above what do you recommend for around 700$?

Ty for your time.

The one that you yourself was leaning towards seems to be the best computer for what you are looking for and it isnt pushing your price range which is nice

All of these are NOT "GAMING" PCs what a lie. Don't expect to be awed by an 9500 or 8500.

He's trying to show you the difference between what parts they put into each PC seeing that they give you specs for each one ( I think) AND the pricing. B/c most companies say "oh yeah this is a gaming PC" & they put crap in it & just rob people for their money, that's why it's best(I believe) to just build your own.. IF you know HOW to, which in this case I don't think you do?.. But yeah for what you're leaning towards, I think it would be ok. It's not the "best" but it'll do.

graphic cards is a VERY important component of your computer, the 9500 and the 8600 won't give you liquid frames at native resolutions and max settings. The better graphic cards will.

Plus right now is not a good time to buy PCs with AMD processors, because it is just not worth it anymore. Intel's got much faster/better and cheaper processors. If you want to buy prebuilt ones from ibuypower, get the one up there. OR if you can fork over more money, pick a different intel machine.

THAT is in my budget range but i dont like the Halo crap on the side can they take it off??

Also for you guys amusement i post this on basil and didnt get as much response as i did from you guys. Basil for Auctions SP for TRUE help.

EDIT: just found out that decal is an accessory and does not come with comp XP

Edit 2: also what are the key things i should look at for in a new system in oooh 4-5yrs?

Ram, and HD, but how do i tell which is the Graphics Card.. ( how i've been buying all my comps based off how much ram and how much hard drive space.

That computer up there, if you really want, IMO switch out the 3gig and get 6 gigs of ram, maybe even 12gigs, they're cheap :S. but I think 6 will be enough. The processor is quad core, and an i7 so you'll be fine there. Hard drives are easy to upgrade down the road as you need it. Graphic card..hum...depends on what kinds of game you play now and if you want to try any of the graphic intense games like Crysis, L4D, CoD etc.

this one just got discontinued.

Any others that could be recommended. with very similar specs?

Just another thought, take the specs of that computer, take it to a local computer shop and ask how much it would cost for them to get something SIMILAR.

Similar = same CPU (i7 920), same or better video card.

ask for a Asus motherboard and more RAM to be installed, I would recommend 6G+

harddrives are easy to install and can be upgraded later. Just get one with a good storage/price ratio.

case wise, pick one that's got good cable management and bottom mounting PSU slot. Also don't go cheap on the PSU. If you can, post the list of items here for people to review before making the purchase.
