Right now I got an incredibly bad computer and I just can't stand it anymore, I lag playing any game.

So my b-day is in a couple days and I'm deciding between these 2 computers:

- http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-Infinity-6330-Desktop-PC-GI6330/sem/rpsm/oid/211350/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

- http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/iBUYPOWER-Gamer-900EX-Desktop-PC-900EX/sem/rpsm/oid/213240/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

If you have any other gaming computers you'd like to link up, either Circuit city or some other site, feel free to post here because I really need to decide on something by tomorrow.

You basically asked "Should i pay more money for less?"... the second one is better. Thought the second one has low-end graphics.... They both do i guess.

None of those are decent gaming computers, and you probably won't get a much better computer at that price range without building it yourself. They both seem neck-in-neck, the first one has a faster GPU, but a slower CPU. The second one has a slower GPU, but a faster CPU.

This one's a bit more expensive, but it does offer a better graphics solution, where the other computers lack it. You'd still be best off building your own computer.

Neither of them will game acceptably. If you want a gaming PC around that price range, you have to build it yourself.

I know this is bumping the price up a bit, but if its worth it I may consider buying it: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/iBUYPOWER-Gamer-912-TX-Desktop-PC-GAMER912TX/sem/rpsm/oid/213241/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

True, but the 8800GT is $110, while the 4850 is around $180.

Performance difference > Price difference.

ATI has a way better price/performance ratio.
