    Sounds a bit pricey for 3 year old gear.

    Also make sure that you get original CDs with the Windows & Office. It smells of pirated software.

    I dont want to pass much comment on the prices but if you are into the whole "Build your own" style of thing you probably build a far higher spec PC (for not much more money) from new parts and maybe a few second hand bits to keep cost down.

    This would also give you the opportunity to select a system that would be easily upgradable in the future.

    I've recently built my own system and if you plan out what you need reasonably carefully and take your time building it it's very easy. I won't post my full specs here as its far above those price ranges (All the kit is new and top of the range(or close to it)).

    You'd probably have to spend a bit more than either of those systems are priced at but it would be faster, and less likely to be obsolete as quickly.
