    Hi all, hope a few people here can advise me on this.

    Looking to get a new PC cause my current one is very old and very crap, want to play games on it but really only Strategy games and Football Manager - have a 360 to do everything else.

    Which PC would be better?

    Option 1 - Intel Core Duo config:
    TwinMOS DDR2 PC5300 2048MB Dual Pack KIT
    NEC DVD±recorder AD-5170 IDE Black OEM
    OCZ Technology Powersupply ATX 450W
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz Socket
    Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2b
    Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA2
    Norman IC, 1 year license Virus Control
    PC box
    SoftThinks Installation/Recovery
    Gigabyte Triton GZ-XX1CA-SNB Black
    MSI P965 NEO-F, P965, Socket-775, ATX,
    Gainward GeForce 7900GS 256MB,1,2ns DDR3

    Option 2
    TwinMOS DDR2 PC5300 2048MB Dual Pack KIT
    NEC DVD-recorder ND-3570 IDE Black OEM
    OCZ Technology Powersupply ATX 450W
    Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2b
    Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA2

    Gainward GeForce 7900GS 256MB,1,2ns DDR3

    Both are fairly similar in price so that is not really a consideration in this instance.
