Option 1 :

(£517.00 - 834 USD)
Option 2 :

(960 USD)
Option 3 :
GAMING PC INTEL i7 2600K Quad Core 4x3,4GHz - 1000GB HDD - 8GB DDR3 (1333 MHz) - DVD Writer - Grafik GeForce GTX560 Ti (1024MB DDR5-VGA-DVI-HDMI-Di... 11) - Audio - 6xUSB 2.0 - 2xUSB 3.0 - LAN - 650W - Cardreader - Wireless LAN (USB/150MBit) - 1xeSATA - 3xLED fan - Windows7 Home Premium 64Bit (DVD a.Lizenzkey) - COMPUTER
(1212 USD)
Option 4 :
GAMING PC INTEL i5 2400 Quad Core 4x3,1GHz - 1000GB HDD - 8GB DDR3 (1333 MHz) - DVD Writer - Grafik GeForce GTX550 Ti (1024MB DDR5-VGA-DVI-HDMI-Di... 11) - Audio - 6xUSB 2.0 - 2xUSB 3.0 - LAN - 650W - Cardreader - Wireless LAN (USB/150MBit) - 1xeSATA - 3xLED fan - Windows7 Home Premium 64Bit (DVD a.Lizenzkey) - COMPUTER
(901 USD)
EDIT: Added option 3 & 4
I am aware that the graphics card of the second one is complete shit, but I do not have the ability to build my own computer so I am ordering my computer in a full set (hence the crap graphics card)
Should I wait for three more months so I could get option 3? Or are any of these worth the money.
Thanks

Go for the first one, able to buy another gpu later down the line that is more powerful (650w on the first one) than the second one (460 watts).

Is there a big difference in the processors?

From what I heard the third gen i7's are the best of this generation, I'd do more research though.

Don't get prebuilt, not worth your money

| I'd go for the intel build but the 4100 plays all games maxed fine. I assume these are prebuilt. I'd wait for piledriver honestly.

So should I get the first option or the second and upgrade the GPU later on

Assuming you take your picks on Bedir:
1-You can replace option 3 with:
GAMING PC INTEL i5 2500K Quad Core 4x3,3GHz - 1000GB HDD - 8GB DDR3 (1333 MHz) - DVD Writer - Grafik GeForce GTX560 Ti (1024MB DDR5-VGA-DVI-HDMI-Di... 11) - Audio - 6xUSB 2.0 - 2xUSB 3.0 - LAN - 650W - Cardreader - Wireless LAN (USB/150MBit) - 1xeSATA - 3xLED fan - Windows7 Home Premium 64Bit (DVD a.Lizenzkey) - COMPUTER
(£679.00 / $1095)
It's £70 cheaper but in terms of performance I don't think you'll notice the difference (CPU is an i5 at 3.3GHz instead of an i7 at 3.6GHz).
2-Personally I'd vote for:
GAMING PC AMD FX 4100 Quad Core 4x3,6GHz - Asus Motherboard - 1000GB HDD - 8GB DDR3 (1333 MHz) - DVD Writer - Grafik GeForce GTX560 (1024MB DDR5-VGA-DVI-HDMI-Di... 11) - Audio - 6xUSB 2.0 - LAN - 650W - Cardreader - Wireless LAN (USB/150MBit) - 1xeSATA - 3xLED Fan - Windows7 Home Premium 64Bit English (incl.DVD u.Lizenzkey) - COMPUTER
(£549 / $885.7)
because:
-It has a gtx560 which is a lot better than a gtx550 ti. At least there is a fair gap between the 2 on this benchmark. One should compare more benchmarks, but I'm lazy.
-It indeed stings a little to use a bulldozer CPU, but games are mostly gpu demanding, not cpu, especially when you have an nvidia card because physx calculations are done by the gpu.
-It seems to be in your target price range.

| DO not buy an I7 they are bad for gaming. If anything get the i5. The difference is hyper threading.

Would I be able to record with Fraps during gameplay still?
