Is the caps lock necessary? Wink

j/k

First of all the one from HP just directs me to their homepage so you would actually have to list what you set it to.
The TigerDirect one is great apart from the graphics card. A low end 8000 series is in most cases worse than a med/high level 7000 series card, so bear that in mind.
And when people see it comes with Vista why do they always think it may be a problem lol? Vista is FINE! eventually it's going to become the norm, just as XP did. And as you will have new hardware in the machine there should be no issue at all. I really think people exagerate the problems with Vista a helluva lot.
I'm guessing you aim to play CoD4. Well without knowing what the HP one was set at it's hard to say but the TigerDirect one would be fine but the graphics card would be the bottleneck unfortunatly. I don't like prebuilt PC's from shops. They usually shove the hardware in such a small case you think 'Oh great, a nice spacesaver' not realizing that that's all well and good until you wish to upgrade, which is a nightmare. The X-Blade case shown on the TigerDirect PC is the one I have currently. It's fine, no problems, but the graphics card would be the real letdown. If you could whack an 8800GTS in there then you're laughing.

I would recommend looking at trustworthy eBay sellers. That's where I have bought all of my gaming PC's from. Smile
