if #2 is a 4790k then that's the one i'd go for, if however its not then go for number 1 and upgrade the ram for not a lot of money as the gfx card of #2 isnt great and you'll want to upgrade that at some point too. Although im very very surprised that anyone is offering a 4770k with 4gb ram along side it :S

Don't ever buy an Acer or any other branded pc with high specs, you'll only wish you hadn't further down the line when you find they don't really give you a motherboard worth anything.

of the unbranded stuff do you know anything about the make/model of motherboard and other components?

Oh well went to talk to my brother this morning and he said he bought the Acer as there was only one left lol... never mind, personally think it looks alright, he managed to knock them down further on the price too. At the end of the day all he really does is go on Betfair! Still overkill imo, but he just got a bit obsessed with specifications :rasp:

Ahh fair enough, sounds like he wont use those sort of specs anyway.

tbf the only real down side to branded stuff is changing up components etc when you need to upgrade stuff.

Yeah only thing I'd want to add to that would be an SSD really, it's one of those things I think where once you have one you can't go back!
