    Out of PC world and Dell, i would go with the dell solution

    Make sure the 3700+ is socket 939 becauses theres also 754.
    If its 939 it'll be better for an upgrade later on.

    The worst thing in that comp is the graphic card. Will u be gaming a bit and things like that or not at all? Even if you don't i would still try and get the 6600GT which is minimum these days

    edit: because your talking about an AMD CPU i assume that the computer comes from PC world because dell are only on Intel

    actually the problem at dell is, it comes with a new monitor and all this other stuff.

    You only want the actual computer correct, you have the monitor and everything else...?

    I would try to get a small upgrade on the video card, but if its to expensive then forget it.

    Try this out, best site for lowest prices in IE

    http://komplett.ie/k/config.asp?ConfigSystemId=10090&Config.AllOptions=X

    I went for the Cooler Master centurion 5
    Seasonic 500W power supply
    Athlon 3700+
    Corsair Value S 3200 1024mb
    Club 3d geforce 6600GT 128mb GDDR 3 graphic card
    Took off mouse and keyboard and monitor which i think u have right?

    The rest which i havent mentioned like dvd burner and all means i left it like it was.
    I would seriously concider getting it from this site

    Edit: and by the way thats 1055 euros tax incl

    They even have there own forum section on boards.ie: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=242
