    PC

    Platform »

    The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.

    This looks like a good deal for a mid-level gaming pc...

    These will not do as integrated graphics processors are very weak and are not suited for gaming. You could buy one of those, though, and install a $70-$100 or so graphics card.
     
    Anyway, out of those two, I'd go with the Acer for the stronger CPU and larger drive. Not to mention the fact that the AM3 is not a dead-end socket like the LGA 775 is now.

    @SlasherMan:  Other than the graphics card, the acer looks pretty decent though, right?

    The acer one is better than the second one. I'm sure you can probally buy that, rip out the power watt supply and buy a new videocard, which would cost alot more money. You could try to build one yourself thought, however if you can't, just upgrade it after you buy it.

    Yup. Just needs a decent GPU and it'll be a pretty capable gaming machine.
