    Price is just about the same.

    I didn't see the mobo being listed but I am assuming it's the same. I like this setup better (due to the dual core), but I would suggest go for sata HD ( not the ata, as the price difference is almost none).

    The mobo is:

    K8N SLI-FI ATX 4xDDR400 LAN Motherboard

    again it is sli, as i want but i think i may have to upgrade the psu if i ever want to run a second card.

    think this one should be my choice.

    No one told me buying a new computer would be so hard. I'm just glad i never went to pcworld!!!

    The second one is better.

    I think it's a nice choice all in all. Again, I would suggest go for sata hd.
